Fiat Chrysler Workers Will Receive Larger Profit-Sharing Check Despite Decline In Profits

(CBS DETROIT) - Fiat Chrysler workers are getting a larger profit-sharing check despite a decline in profits.

Earnings fell by one percent in 2019, but workers will see an increase in their checks due to a change in the company's profit-sharing policy.

Forty-four thousand hourly workers can expect a $7,200 check by March.

This comes after both General Motors and Ford announced lower profit-sharing checks.
