Chrysler says to shut down all production for month

Just heard that. The primary reason is because of inflated inventory of
unsold cars.

Interestingly, union workers will still be paid while they stay home, per
their contract.

Somebody on another group said that UAW workers put 65 cents an hour
into the "VEBA" which is used to fund this pay.
Don't know if it's true, and it's getting to where I don't believe a
thing *anybody* says.
