You know why they did it? Because they feared they could lose their jobs if they ran out of work. They "created" problems in order to keep their job. Not exactly the smartest move obviously, but desperate people do desperate things.

I don't remember which automaker in Germany, but one of them will close its plants for five (!!!!) weeks because there's nothing to do for the workers at the moment. Others have cut work to only a two-day work-week.

I read in the "Spiegel" (big german business/news magazine) that, worst case, 20% of people in Germany could end up without a job... Friends of mine that are fresh out of college trying to get a job are having a very very hard time as well.

Scary times in Germany as well, not only over here...
