While from 7th to 21st maybe just two weeks, i think it will hurt a lot of people, Those who live paycheck to paycheck will really suffer. Two weeks is basically a months rent.........and in those two weeks either credit card bill or rent/mortgage bill will come.
What i have to question is this, how much will Chrysler save in two weeks? Is that sume worth the employee loyalty. The more i work the more i think that employer-employee loyalty is very very important.
Think about it, how many of you worked after 5 PM? Many do not mind getting a little extra work done after hours, just to do a good job. But if employer will treat people the way Chrysler wants.....these people will not stay after, will not do anything that is not their direct responcibility, will not do anything they are not payed for,.......will not go that extra mile.

If you work for Chrysler, you better not be living paycheck to paycheck. That's just silly.

Employer-employee relationships are anything but loyal. Basically employers usually want the most work done for the least amount of pay and workers usually want the opposite. Work is basically exchanging a service for you skill and time, and that's what it's boiling down to, especially in the workplace today. Gone are the days when you'd start out of high school or college and then get a nice watch when you retired. I'm 27 and have had 11 different jobs already.

SALARIED is the key word. They still get paid.
most of the actual hourly workers are UAW, so they get paid too.
Besides, July plant shutdowns are normal for the detroit 3. CLLC is just extending it to salaried employees.
Cripes, some people spare no effort looking for doom-and-gloom. I just saw the CNN bit about this, and they made it sound like the company was closing up shop. Morons.
