Chrysler to shut down production for one month

Chrysler announced today that all plants will be idled at the end of production Friday, December 19.

Chrysler Australia spokesman Jerry Stamoulis said, "A month down in production at this stage won't make a difference to consumers considering our vehicles. This is a calculated decision to match production to demand."

Employees will not return to work any sooner than January 19th, 2009. At the moment we don't have any further news or comment from Chrysler but will be sure to keep you posted.
