Anyone here ever worked at a Chrysler plant ?

My uncle worked for AirTemp for 6 months in 1969.

He got recalled in 1981 after the bailout/payback and worked there again until his death in 1997.

By the time I was old enough to work, a good factory job was as good as impossible to come into.

My uncle screwed heads on compressors all day, and made about $42,000 in 1980's money.

I worked at a TV picture tube frame factory for about 8 months in 1987 for minimum wage ($3.35). I ran two different MIG welding machines and two different stamping presses.
The dual MIG machine they usually put me on was the slowest machine in the shop. The cutter (shear) ahead of it in the shop was the fastest machine. The cutter operator was always on break. The first stamp press after the dual MIG was the second fastest machine in the shop. If there were no assemblies finished from the dual MIG, then that operator was on break. The dual MIG operator was NEVER on break.

I'm glad that experience was a part of my life but I am also glad that it was not a 30 year part of my life.
