Mr. Pushbutton, Sorry to hear also. I grew up in a family where several members worked in the auto industry from the 1920's to the present time, including me at Chrysler Canada in 1964. I recall as a kid the 11 months my dad was laid off at Ford of Canada in 1959 and how hard times were for us kids. My mom got a job at a canning plant stewing tomatoes and boy did we eat a lot of tomatoes sandwiches that year! It is a very cyclical industry and I hope that in time it will recover. In the meantime my heartfelt sympathy goes out to your and all the auto workers affected by this deep recession we are in.
