My son is in the same boat. Arctic Cat has him sitting on standby. They are a completely owned and payed for company and they are simply having to shut down to stop losing money they had saved up.
They say work will be very limited but will begin again after Feb. 9 th. and he has been there 13 years.
That sucks. We even had good snowfall this year which should have helped sales. Too bad the government is more concerned with making things worse rather than getting out of the way of a real recovery.
