Dumb question:

Do the unions still require that chrysler pay the union employees during a shutdown? I thought they were.

Obviously this would save them material cost and supply/demand issues with the pricing of their cars.

I believe that they still do. It means that they won't be producing cars that won't sell and won't have to light, and heat the facilities that they close. That'll save them a bundle.

I know for sure they do close for at least a week during the holidays. That is a standard across the board in automotive. That's the only thing I miss about that industry, normal vaca that you accrue, and then that bonus week between Christmas and New Years.

From what all the talking heads on the news are saying, the first two weeks are what happens every year. It's paid vacation. The second two weeks will be paid by unemployment benefits.
