Honestly? I do not know how the union's contract with Ford is structured. Ron would be the person to better answer that question, since he works in that industry. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Monday, March 23, 2009 5:15:02 AM)

Not at all strat. There is plenty of work for Ron and the auto industry workers. What's happening is that Ford, along with General Motors and probably Chrysler too....they shut down plants for a couple of weeks to save money.

You mean theres no work, and theyre sending you on the "vacation" (thats how they call it here - unpaid, of course)? Damit, that sucks... Theyre doing it here too, tho fortunately, not in my section. Yet. Do you at least get paid for those three weeks?
If this shit goes on, we will all be living in huts by next year...
