FCA weighed buying GM plant for major Detroit expansion

Transferring a unionized plant from GM to FCA would have been complex but easier than going to a company with a nonunion work force such as Tesla Inc.

It also could have allowed FCA to expand production capacity as planned without having to rely on Detroit officials to acquire more land.

GM and FCA had a “legitimate” discussion about the plant, one source said, but couldn’t reach a deal for various reasons. (autonews.com)
