The healthcare trust affiliated with the United Auto Workers union had finally placed a price tag on the worth of its shares in Chrysler Group. It pegged the price at USD3.6 billion by end of 2012 and USD2.7 billion in 2011. This information was gleaned from a Labor Department filing of the firm.

According to Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, he wants Fiat to purchase the VEBA shares to complete it privatization of the the beloved car manufacturer.
