They normally shut down plant operations during the holidays, the typical duration is 2 weeks, so going to four weeks is meaningful but we are in a recession and this shutdown should not be used as a reason to rush through some il conceived bail-out plan. There is also general shut downs during the summer months of up to two weeks, in the past this time was generally used to re-tool for new production runs. I knew a few people who would use these shut-down periods to file unemployment claims even though they knew in advance and knew they would return to work in two weeks.
