Eight hundred General Motors workers in Linden, New Jersey face an uncertain future as GM ends operations there two years earlier than planned. But at least they won’t be hurting for wages between now and the originally planned phaseout of plant operations. Because they have income protection built into their contract the 800 union workers will get paid 95 percent of their wages for 48 weeks while on unemployment. After that they will collect their full salaries while doing “community service” work - right up to the September 2007 date when production of the Blazer and Jimmy SUV’s was originally set to end.
