Chrysler Shuts Down All Production

Starting this Friday, Chrysler will shut down all production of its vehicles at all of its 30 plants for one month, which is two weeks longer than it normally does at this time of year. Now, this is the real kicker. Workers will receive 95% of their wages during the shut down. Please tell me where is the incentive to change the status quo? Why would the UAW want to change anything when its workers can take a month off, not vacation time, and still get 95% of their salary. And, I thought they were going to remove the job bank. Sign me up, please. I want a deal like that!
