Has anyone talked about the fact that laid off workers still receive 95% of their pay even though they aren't building cars as part of their contract?

The whole thing has been about the profit margin but I'm not sure if this has been talked about, obviously if they are paying a premium for these workers and then laying them off & still paying 95% of said premium thats gotta hurt. There was someone on LS1tech talking about someone getting this pay for up to 40 weeks at a clip.

Thats just crazy IMO and if something isn't done it will continue from my understanding, again I'm the last guy you'd be asking about the in's & outs of GM but man, something needs to be done about that.
