Chrysler Closes....

Just thought I,d throw out my 2 cents.I,ve worked for Ford in Oakville,Ontario for 22 years.First I,m laid off from dec.15-jan19(70%) of wages which is unemployment and top up from union.All unemployment pay is payed back at end of year(make to much$$)still have to pay into it though.No real raisesfor last 6 years.gave up 40 hours holiday pay,pay portion of benifits.Up here in Canada Ford only wants line of credit to use for future economy(if it continues downward)2 billion witch is paid back,not given.U.S war cost TRILLIONS daily so I think 17 billion to keep millions of people working isn,t so bad.If you put 1 million people on unemployment= billions,instead of billions coming off there pay each week.I enjoy the time off to be with family and work on cars,but to much time off gets to be to much.If G.M would have re-structured say 5 years ago they would,nt be in this situation.All the auto makers are asking for money not just Big 3.How do you feel giving money to keep Toyota running??Thanks I,ve vented.Happy Holidays.Ford pays dick when I,m laid-off 40%unemployment-30%Union top up.Get the facts right.
