Marchionne said he has ruled out major refreshes to the two sedans, which never met their sales targets, meaning there is no new product for the facility which employees about 1,300 workers.

Mr Fiat says Avenger and Sebring didnt meet sales goals. Hell, nobody did. 08 and 09 Market went down the tubes for everybody. Heres what I dont understand. Fiat owns only 20% of Chrysler but he's calling all the shots. Thats like a state telling the Feds how to conduct buisness.

How can you meet your expected sales number when you have no cars on the lot to sell?

[INTERNATIONAL]

Unfortunate for the shap employees we have losers at international who have the power now to keep us open. They now are mgmt, ron middlefinger needs to eliminate production at shap so he can send these cars to be built at a cheaper location and fatten his pockets before he retires afterall the uaw owns 80 percent of chrysler.

I see. So you didn't go to Belvidere then. We're waiting also. Playing the waiting game. I wish we had signed up for the Detroit labor market and we'd already be there instead of still waiting. At the time I did not know Belvidere weather was as bad if not worse than Detroit. Where did you sign up for? Do you know how many is left in StL to be placed?

Good luck to you, too. We figured dammed if we do, damned if don't. Either way it is a gamble. But with the jobless rate and the economy we figured a job is better than no job. It is a very difficult decision.

What are you? 12? No true adult would type something like that. If you don't like what someone writes on this open forum, then don't read it, OR take your own advice and "go away." Attacking someone you don't know is simply childish and cowardly.

There are over 8 million more homes in America with "underwater" mortgage's, they owe more than the home is currently worth, the strain on our economy will last alot longer until people have good paying jobs to keep the economy going, What ever happened to the theory of trickle down economics? Wheren't the top 1% more important to the economy than the middleclass, at least that's what they always said on CNBC and Fox News
