Why would those plant workers lose their jobs. I thought Chrysler was going to up the production on the vipers and the prowler line workers would have new positions there? Am I wrong?

Seriously, I am in. I love the car, the plant seems cool and maybe we can take some extra plant stuff they won't need home!

MERRY KATMAS!

If you remember when Daimler "merged" with Chrysler, it was announced that with the new "plan" (downsizing and reorganization), personnel was going to be cut 20% across the board. CAAP had not been hit by that up to this point. However, it finally came full circle. Obviously, no one wants to lose their job. Times are difficult right now at best and here in Detroit, unemployment is tough. DC is not the only company here who have implemented lay-offs. GM, Ford and a number of other large companies. Jobs are tough to find in an area that has been flooded with people who have lost their jobs. In addition to that, now the Prowler production has come to an end and that will likely mean more job cuts. Yes, Viper will still be produced, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they need the manpower. It is so unfortunate.

The people who do the tours are actually workers that they pull off the line. Sylvia has stated to me that she does not want to ask them to conduct the tours. Yes, everyone knew that the end was going to come at some point. But knowing that and having it actually become reality is much different. Look at how everyone on the board reacted even though we all knew the same thing.

Of course they have pride in what they have done with the Prowler and I know that they appreciate the fact that we appreciate their part in producing this vehicle. As you know, from my other thread, we are putting together something to commemorate them that we will make sure they get.
