No Rest for the Holidays

Posted on January 23, 2011

During the recession, many companies chose to close as often as they could without causing too much employee upset. This included creating four-day work weeks and giving employees as much holiday vacation as possible. But as the recession smoke clears and automakers look forward to the surge in sales, some factories stayed open during the holidays.

According to an article with the Detroit Free Press, German automakers reportedly remained open between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. This time had traditionally been reserved for vacation – but car companies avoided the close, “…to meet a surge in demand that is contributing to the nation’s strong economic rebound from the recession.”

Reportedly, the car factory employees were happy to work during the days usually reserved for vacation. Some luxury automakers that joined in on the extended work hours are BMW and Daimler.
