*PING* to Post #20. Rude of me not to ping our Host with my ground-shattering observations, LOL! Sorry!
A lot of factories in colder climate shut down in winter due to hearmting costs.
The workers get “laid off” and come back in Feb. Workers take all the accrued vacation and sick time in cash and get to receive unemployment checks.
At least in the late 70s, early 80s. Saw it at a Whirlpool in Ft. Smith Ark.
