Wasn't that the point of having Union? Wait, the union leaders are just as bad if not worse! Recall the air traffic controllers incident? I am not for the practice, but it seems Chrysler needs the idling to straighten things out. These workers have been paid so well they shouldn't complain. Besides, where are your union leaders now when you are thrown into the situation? I bet they don't care either and probably sleeping with the execs' wives!

Maybe GM will hire them to work at one of the many GM plants? Of course they'll need to learn the concept of "quality manufacturing" first :) Won't be building shitty ass Chryco models, that's for sure!

Yeah, this looks like classic Nardelli "sensitivity." The guy established himself at Home Depot as a monster when it comes to HR issues. Then again, considering the horrible vehicles they're building and the level of quality they're maintaining, these workers should thank their lucky stars they're not clocking in at Pizza Hut. Employees unhappy with mandatory vacation? America is unhappy with the cars they build. No heroes in this case.

I'm not sure what's gonna happen. I think if any people posting here think if someone forced you to take all your vacation time after you and your family decided on doing something else another time of the year ... and you don't have any other extra banked vacation time ... you'd be pissed. I'm sure this decision (mandatory vacation across the world) was made from up top (ie Nardelli). Do you understand why he was canned from Home Depot now? Lights are on, but no one's home. This is a fiasco and I'm not sure how this one will be played out. BTW, I'm sure the higher ups in the union will have more than 2 weeks vacation. Should hurt too bad, except for the new recruits. (But what do I know? I don't work there and I don't know the vacation entitlement scale at Chrysler.) Isn't industry standard 3 weeks paid vacation? (Maybe that's a Canada thing ...)

Some people have a whole hell of a lot to learn about the economy, the same could be said for the management at chrysler. Unions got greedy, and they companies caved, they assumed they would continue to hold market share, they haven't. Now the chickens have come home to roost, so basically they're paying out to their former employees and unions, passing the price onto the consumer, and thusly making them even less competitive.

Only we are doing well, but they instituted it one year in bad times and now they do it to manipulate their earnings and liabilities so that the jackasses at the top can skim a slightly higher bonus for Christmas. Corp suits are all A-holes. My shitty company, HP, does this mandatory vacation crap also.
