PE exec to help UAW on potential GM/Chrysler deal-source

Stephen Girsky, a veteran auto-industry analyst and private equity executive, is working with the United Auto Workers union with regards to any potential General Motors Corp and Chrysler LLC deal, a source familiar with the situation said on Sunday.

Girsky is president of Centerbridge Industrial Partners, LLC., the industrial unit of private equity firm Centerbridge Partners.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Sunday that the union recently retained Girsky to help "level the playing field" in any discussions about changes in its current contract that could be needed in a tie-up of the two auto makers.

Girsky is expected to help UAW President Ron Gettelfinger evaluate the deal and shape the union's strategy, the WSJ said, citing sources.

Sources told Reuters last week that a deal to merge General Motors and Chrysler LLC hit an impasse after the Bush administration ruled out funding for it.

Advisers on Cerberus' side are JP Morgan and Citi and on the GM side are Morgan Stanley and Evercore , a person familiar with the talks previously told Reuters.

UAW chief says he would oppose GM-Chrysler merger

United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger says he would oppose a merger between General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC because it would cost workers their jobs.

Gettelfinger says the union has not had formal discussions with either automaker about a merger. Speaking on a political Webcast run by WWJ-AM in Detroit on Tuesday, he said there's no question such a merger would mean job losses.

He says the union has done a lot to help Detroit's automakers survive by giving health care concessions in 2005 and with a new contract last year that reduced costs.
