He said that these guys are scared to death of having unionized auto plants in their state. I was floored.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not amazed at the teen turnout for your association's decorating event. I see lots of teens turning out for these types of events lately, and, of course, the free coffee and doughnuts don't hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-6504137771257526332008-12-14T02:28:00.000-05:002008-12-14T02:28:00.000-05:00GM announced it is doing a month long plant shutdo...GM announced it is doing a month long plant shutdown, maybe longer for 30% of it;s mfg plants. <BR/>Maybe the gvmnt will see how much that costs in unemployment. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile my husband just go laid off @ his job temporarily for a month. <BR/><BR/>Wow!<BR/>FranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-19119291213366296942008-12-14T00:37:00.000-05:002008-12-14T00:37:00.000-05:00You are spot-on regarding the auto industry situat...You are spot-on regarding the auto industry situation.
