Re: Chrysler to slash 1000 employees at Brampton Facility

Yeah, some of this is starting to get con-fusing !!! Somehow, months ago, the 5000 # came out .Then after 6-7500 orders have been "written" [ in probably record time ], Dodge or Chrysler comes out with a possible cut-off limit and/or date !!! Do they want to sell a bunch of Challengers or not ? I realize though that the New C only has foresight at Brampton for the Challenger production: possibly if Brampton puts out better quality work than our American workforce { either as a whole or maybe just certain sites[ I'm somewhat dismayed to say ] } Setting up a second Challenger production line is costly or is it ? If production #s /forecast though doubles or even triples original DCX estimates then a second LC platform production location is warranted and more than welcome { at least in my mind or eyes }! ! P.S. As for those 1000 workers " standing around" perhaps they were learning /seeing 'how it's done' ?!?!? Or a communal java break
