Holiday season coming up.....people start thinking Christmas and gifts and so forth....new car sales should drop off....and so goes production...

If I heard the news broadcast properly they said Lansing has had a building inventory for some time. I believe it's a Cadillac that is not selling so a decision was made to shut it down. No idea what's happening at Lake Orion, I change the channel after a few auto workers blamed it on the governor/ elections and a few saying how dare they do this at Christmas time.

I do feel bad for them. To get 95 percent of your pay or whatever it it is just isn't fair. Sheet just imagine a paid vacation all winter long.
