    How?

  A “temporary layoff”, what does that even mean?

    It means you’re first to be called when the position needs to be filled again. Buying unusual about that… Heck all 4000 employees where I used to work were sent on temporary layoff when we had to close because of COVID…

    Layoff, but without the classic excuse that the position suddenly became redundant.

    Former employees will, hopefully, find another job within their lifetimes.

    I hope I was able to help.

  Sounds illegal.

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  Citing similar reasons, General Motors has also warned that 2,000 workers at its Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas are expected to be out of work by early next week.

  The UAW President Shawn Fain said the union will make sure that affected workers continue to have an income and called the temporary layoffs as a strategic attack to hasten negotiations.

  “Let’s be clear: if the Big Three decide to lay people off who aren’t on strike, that’s them trying to put the squeeze on our members to settle for less,” Fain said Saturday in a statement.

  The prospect of temporary layoffs come less than a day after the UAW launched its unprecedented strike against the Big Three automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep and Ram.

  On Friday, about 13,000 workers at three Midwest plants walked off the job after the auto companies failed to reach a deal with the union on pay, pensions and other benefits.

  About 600 workers at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant’s body construction department and south sub-assembly area of integrated stamping were told not to report to work on Friday because the components they produce require e-coating.

  Shouldn’t be any strike taken as an unpaid time?

    They are laying off people not on strike in response to the strike and blaming those on strike for it.

      That makes no sense from any point of view. I would expect nonsense like this from Musk.

  This is a bit misleading.
  Workers that are laid off do get unemployment pay. They’re not just thrown into the wind.
  But this was definitely a calculated move by the union with the targeted strikes, forcing the auto companies to dip into their unemployment funds to pay those workers who were laid off rather than let the union foot the whole bill with a wholesale strike.
