My mom moved up here in '05 because Siemen's bought the Chrysler Electronics plants in Huntsville, Alabama (either had to move or quit Chrysler and have a clean slate with Siemens) and I moved up here last year; my mom has around 7 or 8 years to go before she retires. She has been so worried about the rumors over the past few months; getting online EVERYDAY looking for new information on what is going to happen if they sell or cut jobs. I haven't talked to her about Chrysler actually being up for sell yet. I am afraid she will be really worried again. I don't want them to cut anymore jobs, but I just pray that they don't cut the STL plants.

While I certainly strongly believe we should be concerned as a society about what happens to these Chrysler workers, I also believe we should be even more concerned about the millions more blue- and white-collar workers who have no union protection or pensions whatsoever. That's the majority of workers in America today. Most workers today have no pension except for the 401K "save-your-own-money" plan that are for the most part invested in dubious investments. And now even our Social Security is at risk due to some lame ideas about privitizing it! Just what we need - more corporate crooks, profiting off our Social Security funds! Outrageous!

So, yeah, I agree with Mike-from-IL - the Chrysler workers are relatively lucky compared to the fate waiting for millions more working Americans. Better start shoving some money in the mattress now before it's too late!

Chrysler's main problem - the "suits" are overpaid and underworked. The people on the lines will lose their jobs because of those upper management clowns while the actual laborers are the line. Chrysler does need to update it's products and become more Jap/German in order to compete no matter who buys them. Chrysler - you're top heavy - lose the heads!
