For example, when Chrysler Corporation faced a financial crisis and sought economic concessions from its union, the corporation agreed to give its union representation on its board of directors. Through this act Chrysler granted its union employees a right to participate at the highest levels of cor¬porate decision making. The union representative, UAW President Douglas Frasier, could knowledgeably represent the interests of employees. If he lacked needed expertise, he had the ability to consult with his own financial and legal experts.
