Fiat Chrysler, UAW reach new tentative labor deal - CNBC

Fiat Chrysler

DETROIT – Fiat Chrysler and the United Auto Workers union have reached a tentative deal on a new labor contract amid tumultuous times for both sides.

The UAW Bargaining Committee agreed to a deal with Fiat Chrysler to add $4.5 billion in investments, translating to 7,900 jobs over the course of a four-year deal, according to a UAW statement. The $4.5 billion comes on top of an earlier pledge of $4.5 billion for a total of $9 billion marked for new investment, UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada said in the statement.

Fiat Chrysler confirmed in a statement that it had reached a tentative deal with UAW. 

Last week the UAW turned its attention to Fiat Chrysler – the last of the Detroit automakers it needs to seal a new contract with in 2019.

The agreement comes days after the resignations of two high-ranking union officials, including UAW President Gary Jones, who were connected to an ongoing federal corruption probe of the union. Jones, whose Michigan home was raided by federal agents in August, has not been charged by federal prosecutors.

It also comes nearly a month after Fiat Chrysler announced plans to merge with French automaker PSA Group.

A final agreement is likely at least a week or two away from being approved or rejected by rank-and-file union members. The UAW-Fiat Chrysler National Council will meet on Dec. 4 to go over details of the proposed deal. If adopted, the tentative agreement will go to all Fiat Chrysler hourly and salary workers for a ratification vote that will begin on Dec. 6, according to the statement.

The pact is expected to share many of the same terms as the union's recent contracts with Ford Motor and General Motors. Those deals included 3% raises or 4% lump-sum bonuses each year of the contract, retention of roughly 3% out-of-pocket health-care costs and a path for temporary workers to become full-time employees.

"Out of respect for our members, we will refrain from commenting any further or releasing full details of the agreement until the UAW-FCA Council leaders meet and review the details," said Estrada in the statement.

GM also agreed to $11,000 ratification bonuses for most of its full-time employees. Ford agreed to $9,000 ratification bonuses, however previous contracts have included lower amounts for Fiat Chrysler workers.

The federal probe into corruption of the UAW, which started with Fiat Chrysler, has led to charges against 13 people, including seven convictions of people affiliated with the union and three Fiat Chrysler executives.

Most holiday shoppers prefer buying gifts online - not in stores - Fox Business

Strategic Resource Group managing director Burt Flickinger discusses the markets and holiday shopping.

More than half of consumers are shopping online for their holiday gifts, according to a new report.

Continue Reading Below

According to the Holiday Outlook 2019 report released by PwC, 54 percent of respondents plan to do their holiday shopping online, compared to 46 percent who plan to go in-store.

That’s almost the opposite of the trends in 2015 when 58 percent said they planned to shop in-store and 42 percent said they planned to shop online.

The report also found that younger generations who are planning to shop online expect to use their phones almost as much as their personal computers to make purchases.

Meanwhile, older generations who are planning to shop online plan to use their personal computers over their smartphones.

However, millennials (as well as metro residents and Amazon Prime members, according to the report) are also looking to have more of an experience when they shop.

-17.71 (-0.97%)

More than half of the millennials overall who responded said they believe shopping is “an event to be experienced," which includes eating out, while only 44 percent of all consumers agreed with that sentiment.

PwC also found that 60 percent of young millennials (aged 24 to 27) said they would “go out of my way for a superior shopping experience,” whereas only 40 percent of all consumers agreed.

Even though Black Friday has traditionally been viewed as one of the biggest days of holiday shopping, PwC found that only 36 percent of respondents said they would go shopping on Black Friday itself. Back in 2015, that number was 59 percent.

In fact, only 19 percent of people said they planned to finish their holiday shopping during the week of Black Friday, while 49 percent said they would finish their shopping after that week.

According to PwC, Black Friday has become less important because of the increase in online shopping, other deals that Amazon runs on Prime Day and the fact that retailers start offering Black Friday deals much earlier in the month.

Similarly, a study from Deloitte found that 53 percent of people will take advantage of Cyber Monday deals, with only 44 percent shopping Black Friday discounts.

PwC even found that while 24 percent of people don’t plan to shop at all on Thanksgiving Day, 32 percent said they would shop online, 17 percent said they would shop in-store and 22 percent said they would do both.

Overall, consumers are expected to spend an average of $1,284 on entertainment, gifts and travel, according to the report, which is an increase of 2.7 percent from last year.

Starbucks has fired employee who gave Oklahoma officer order with 'PIG' printed on the label, company says - CNN

The Kiefer police officer went to the Starbucks in Glenpool on Thanksgiving day to pick up five drinks, CNN affiliate KTUL reported. Kiefer Chief Johnny O'Mara told the news station a customer pointed out the label on the cups to the officer.
"What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town," O'Mara wrote in a Facebook post, where he shared a picture of a cup with the "PIG" label on it.
The coffee company called the incident "absolutely unacceptable" and said it is "deeply sorry to the law enforcement officer who experienced this."
"The Starbucks partner who wrote this offensive word on a cup used poor judgement and is no longer a partner after this violation of company policy," the statement read. "This language is offensive to all law enforcement and is not representative of the deep appreciation we have for police officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe."
In a joint statement, Starbucks and Kiefer police said they're using the incident "as an opportunity to leverage our shared platforms to promote greater civility."
The company will meet with Kiefer police to discuss ways to work together, including by jointly hosting a Coffee with a Cop event at Starbucks for local law enforcement to meet with baristas and community members to discuss "the critical role dispatchers and police offers play in keeping our communities safe," the joint statement said.

CNN's Jamiel Lynch contributed to this report.

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2019, your source for the season's best gifts and deals, hand-picked by the experts at CNET.

Black Friday is finally here, and all the major stores have launched their seasonal savings. Amazon is no exception: The online mega-retailer has opened the floodgates on a host of new deals. Some of the most notable new Amazon device deals include:

Of course, Amazon has plenty of other great stuff on sale, too. Other great deals we've spotted:

But that's just the beginning of Amazon's massive holiday deals -- you can also find sales right now on the Kindle Paperwhite and nearly all other Amazon devices. 

Don't forget: There are some undeniable advantages to being an Amazon Prime member during Black Friday shopping. And before you start shopping, check out my advice on how to save an extra 10% to 20% at Amazon to learn some of the Amazon-specific cash-back tricks that I've recently discovered. 

So without further ado, let's look at the best deals popping over at Amazon right now.

iPad 10.2, MacBook Air, Echo Show and Kindle e-reader deals available right now

These sweet deals just arrived. If you're looking for an Echo Show, Fire player or tablet, now is the time to buy. 

Fossil

The Apple Watch isn't for everyone -- and that goes double for Android phone owners. But this stylish (and round) Fossil model is no slouch in the tech department, either, with on-board GPS, NFC and heart rate monitoring among its bag of tricks.

Discount ends 11:59 p.m. PT Thursday, Nov. 28.

This is it. The Black Friday MacBook Air sale we've been waiting for. Amazon offers a $200 off the brand-new model -- the one with the Retina True Tone display -- that Apple released in July. Clip the on-page coupon for the full savings. Read our MacBook Air 2019 preview.

Sarah Tew/CNET

The 2019 version of the standard AirPods -- then non-Pro model with the non-wireless charging case -- will run you $159 at the Apple Store, and $144 most other times of the year at other retailers. But they're now down to $129 at Amazon -- an all-time low, and $5 cheaper than just a few hours ago. See our AirPods 2019 review.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Amazon now has the brand-new 10.2-inch iPad for $250 (Best Buy and Walmart have it, too.) his iPad has a larger screen and more Pro-level features than its predecessor, and is a good upgrade for anyone who has the non-Pro 2017 model or older. Read our 10.2-inch iPad preview.

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Fire Stick (the HD version -- if you want the 4K edition, scroll down a little) is just 20 bucks right now. That's not the best price we've ever seen on the Fire Stick, but it's still quite the bargain. Read our Amazon Fire TV Stick review.

Amazon

This 32-inch HD Smart LED TV from Insignia (model NS-32DF310NA19) has an Amazon Fire TV built in, which will let you access Disney Plus, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, and more. You can also add the code FTVE19 for a free Echo Dot to be included with the TV. 

CNET

Best Buy and Amazon have the Jabra Elite 65t earbuds (CNET gave them an Editors' Choice Award last year) on sale for $100, though not in the full array of colors -- if you want them in Titanium Black or Gold Beige, you're in luck. The new, more compact Elite 75t earbuds typically retail for $180, but you can snatch them up now for $150. The slightly more rugged Elite Active 65t model is currently on sale for $140. Read our Jabra Elite 65t review.

Amazon

It's not even released yet, but Amazon just trotted out its first-ever discount on the Echo Show 8. It's basically a larger version of the super popular Echo Show 5 (which is currently on sale for $50, FYI), and therefore better suited to places like the kitchen, where the 8-inch screen makes it easier to view cooking videos and the like. Read our Amazon Echo Show 8 review.

Amazon

This 50-inch 4K smart TV from Toshiba (model 50LF711U20) has an Amazon Fire TV built in, for easier streaming from Disney Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO and more. You can also add the code FTVE19 for a free Echo Dot to be included with the TV. 

Amazon

The Amazon Fire TV Recast is a DVR that lets you watch and record over-the-air TV at home with Fire TV or Echo Show, or on-the-go with a compatible mobile device. The 500GB version, which lets you record two shows at once and store up to 75 hours of HD shows, is currently $130 ($100 off). The 1 TB version, which lets you record four shows at once and store up to 150 hours of HD programming, is currently $180 (also $100 off). 

Tyler Lizenby/CNET

Save $20 now on an Amazon Echo Input, a nifty device that adds Alexa to an external speaker and connects via 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth. Basically, it helps you turn any speaker into a smart speaker. 

Chris Monroe/CNET

Amazon's Eero mesh Wi-Fi system is designed to bathe your home in Wi-Fi. This three-pack setup lets you replace your router and covers up to 5,000 square feet, eliminating any dead zones in your home. Regularly priced at $249, the current offer of $160 is a relative steal.

Ben Fox Rubin/CNET

The Amazon Echo Link Amp helps you upgrade your speakers with a built-in 60W x 2-channel amplifier, high-fidelity streaming music and Alexa. You can use it to voice control your music with your Echo device, or the Alexa app.

Also available now:

Other Amazon Black Friday deals available now

As expected, some of the best early discounts are on Amazon devices (though some of the items below may be even cheaper next week). But I found a few noteworthy non-Amazon deals as well, so check those out, too.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Released in early November, the AirPods Pro are available for a cheaper price. Regularly priced at $250, the small discount for the noise-canceling earbuds is great for those needing to upgrade their previous AirPods or those who want to dive into a truly wireless audio experience. Note that these keep going in and out of "backordered" status, but right now there appears to be no delay in shipping. Read our AirPods Pro review.

Catan

The eternally popular civilization-building board game is 49% off. This is the core game for three to four players.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Wireless earbuds are all the rage, and Klipsch adds its own into the market. The T5 True Wireless Earphones have great sound and a fancy Zippo lighter-like case. You can save $50 when buying these earbuds early, but use the money saved to get more silicone tips to get just the right fit for your ear.   Read our T5 True Wireless Earphones review.

23andMe

Got some saliva to spare? Send a little to 23andMe and receive back over 125 DNA-based reports on your health, wellness, ancestry and the like. This is the lowest price we've seen on this kit, which normally runs $199.

Chamberlain

Actually, this app-powered garage-door controller originally sold for $130, so in a way you're saving $100. It's been steadily creeping down in price, but this is the lowest I've seen it. It's compatible with most garage doors, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. Arguably the best $30 you can spend on your house right now. Read our Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub review.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Adding a soundbar to your TV- and movie-watching experience will improve it like few other accessories can. Stuck trying to decide which one? Here's a good option at a particularly good price. For a limited time, while supplies last, Amazon has the Polk Command Bar for $199. That saves you $100. There are more affordable sound bars out there, but this one has two great perks: a wireless subwoofer and built-in Alexa smarts. Read our Polk Command Bar review.

LG

Currently 42% off the list price, this is the best price we've seen on this 65-inch UHD TV. It includes both Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control and smart assistance, and Airplay 2 lets you cast from any Mac or iOS device to the big screen. LG also packs in a quad-core processor that supports HDR color and Dolby Atmos 2.0 with 20 W integrated speakers.

Sony

While Sony's WH-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones showed up to party at $228 very briefly last week, we can't be sure that wasn't just a pricing error rather than a deliberate effort to undercut Bose. Nonetheless, it's now priced at $278, and we'd be surprised if it went any lower before the holidays. There's little doubt that these excellent-sounding headphones are the ones to beat right now, which is great, since they're priced about the same as its chief competitor, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II.

This deal had expired, but it's back -- available now.
 Read our Sony WH-1000XM3 review.

Amazon

Vizio's 2019 P-Series Quantum TV cost $1,400 when it debuted earlier this year. Amazon's current deal saves $521 off Amazon's regular price, bringing this TV down to under $900. That's even lower than its September sale price of $998. You'll get 4K HDR, a nice 65-inch display and smarts for Apple HomeKit, AirPlay and Alexa and Google voice commands. We haven't reviewed this model yet, but CNET's David Katzmaier loved its 2018 predecessor. Need an even bigger screen? There's also an option to purchase the 75-inch model for $1,498, an $800 discount. 

Bose

Sure, there's an avalanche of competition out there, with more noise cancelling headphones than you can soundlessly shake a stick at. But Bose always seems to lead the pack with superb comfort, noise cancelling, and overall sound quality. Right now, you can get Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for $70 off at Amazon. If you don't care about getting a dedicated Google Assistant button, you can still find otherwise identical, refurbished copies of the original Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones at Amazon as well. That said, the price has been fluctuating a bit -- we saw the QuietComfort 35 II for as low as $235 recently, so there might still be some surprises between now and Black Friday. But you certainly shouldn't pay more than $279 if you're in the market between now and the new year.

Note: This deal will return by Black Friday. Read our Bose QuietComfort 35 II review.

Instant Pot

If you're looking for some extra room for your Instant Pot culinary pursuits, the Instant Pot's Duo 7-in-1 model wis $65 for Black Friday. This deal, though, is only available for the day.

Note: Excellent Instant Pot deals like this one will return for Black Friday.

Amazon deals that have expired (but are likely to return)

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Cheapskate proved himself prescient when he prognosticated that the Apple Watch Series 3 would hit another all-time low during Black Friday sales: It just dropped to $170 for the entry-level silver with white sport band model. Space gray and black models are still at the previous low of $190. That said, note that this model will drop to $129 at Walmart (and probably elsewhere) starting Nov. 27. Read our Apple Watch Series 3 review.
