UAW workers are paid 95% of their regular wages through the SUB (Supplementary Unemployment Benefit). This basically supplements the state unemployment benefit with money from the companies to reach the 95% amount. I don’t know how long it lasts but, it is a contractual obligation and has been so for a long time.

What about the non-union, management-type folks? Hope they get thru this ok. Or, maybe they can go work for the auto makers down South. They don’t appear to be having these problems.
Its contingent on seniority....
