Local paper said that the unemployment rate in the county was expected to top 10% this next month, much due to job losses in the auto industry.

If the unions won't budge (help/back off/stop choking the ever-living-life out of the auto industry) what do you expect?

Some where direct Chrysler people, but a lot are tool and die makers, and tire co people that are losing work, and in some cases they're worried if they'll even get paid for work they've already done.

Up here the union gave GM exactly what they wanted. Now Chrysler is dicking around with the process trying to end up in a more favourable position, rather than save their corporate asses.
