Follow up on a post I made about 2 weeks ago about local GM plant
I posted that it looked like everyone was called back to work after massive cutbacks and layoffs. Well they were and today it looks like they are working 6 days, this week, at least. Obama stimulus at work?

2. Excellent news!
I hope this is a sign of good things to come. It looks like the cash for clunkers is quite a success.

3. Cash for Clunkers has helped reduce inventory so maybe that is why your local plant is running again

5. Are you sure they weren't just "called back" from an annual retooling "layoff".
Auto plants usually close for a month in early summer, regardless of how well they're doing.

6. No, I know all about that. That's over the fourth of July holiday, usually
the first 2 weeks of July. These people have been laid off for several months, some longer.
