DETROIT (AP) General Motors is asking a federal judge to reconsider his dismissal of a lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler based on new allegations that FCA bribed union and GM officials with millions stashed in secret foreign bank accounts.
GM alleges that bribes were paid to former United Auto Workers Vice President Joe Ashton and former union Presidents Dennis Williams and Ron Gettelfinger. It also alleges that bribes were paid to Al Iacobelli, a former FCA labor negotiator who was later hired by GM.
