Chrysler workers back at work
Chrysler workers in Ontario were back on the job Monday after the auto manufacturer halted production for two months while it was undergoing bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S.
About 3,500 workers who work the morning and afternoon shift returned to Chrysler’s minivan plant in Windsor, Ont and about 3,800 workers returned to work at a second plant in Brampton, Ont.
Employees working the third shift are expected to return to their jobs on July 27 after the summer break.
For Brampton workers, it will be a four-day work week. A problem with a supplier means the plant will shut down again next week. Then, the facility shuts down for its annual two-week summer break in mid-July.
Workers say they are just happy to be employed again after being off the job since May 4.

Male, retired and the rest is of little interest to anyone. The site keeps me busy and if it helps others to stay abreast of daily events then my time is well spent.

I’m always glad to hear of Canadians working but… Have we heard what percentage of the new Chrysler is owned by the UAW/CAW?
