Breaking News from Chrysler...Newark Assy to close EARLY

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guess when they said Newark Assy was to close in 2009 they meant BY 2009...

"Chrysler LLC is announcing the elimination of one shift of production
at its Toledo (Ohio) North Assembly Plant and the pull-ahead of the
closure of the Newark (Delaware) Assembly Plant. The schedule change
will adjust inventory to better match consumer demand.

The shift reduction at Toledo North will be effective December 31,
2008, and will affect approximately 825 jobs. The closure of the
Newark plant will also be effective December 31, 2008, and will affect
approximately 1,000 jobs.

The Newark Assembly Plant builds Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen and
has been operating on one shift since July 2006. Its idling was first
announced in February 2007. Newark Assembly Plant currently has
approximately 1,000 employees who are represented by UAW Locals 1183
and 1212."
