Sergio Marchionne\u2019s dinner speech was the target of protestors at the Automotive News World Congress on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

In a dramatic display, the protestors carried white balloons and a banner, and upon release of the balloons one protestor, Teamsters Union member Matteo Colombi, commenced to distribute flyers to the crowd that read \u201cThe Fiat\/Chrysler Bailout Bandit. Tell Chrysler: Stop Killing Good Jobs.\u201d It also referred people to the website \u2018www.carbuyersbeware.com\u2019. Colombi\u2019s protest came in the wake of Chrysler\u2019s decision to use non-unionized car haulers; a move that will save the company about $10 per car, or $10 million total.<\/p>\n

Another protestor made her way on stage and began ranting about how a defective Chrysler product caused her mother\u2019s demise. “My mother died because of a defective Chrysler product,” the woman said. The banner hung from the ceiling read \u201cFiat-Chrysler: Damaged When Delivered?\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchionne was more than apologetic to the crowd for the interruptions.<\/p>\n
