If the Canadian divisions - legally separate companies - go bankrupt, what severance package can there be once the assets are liquidated?

I am assuming by your post, you believe Chrysler can close a plant in Canada, build one in China and have no obligations to the Canadian workers. If that is the case, you are mistaken.

Yeah....that would be like America (in spite of NAFTA) imposing a 27% tariff on
Softwood Lumber, for years, no matter what and how many courts state that it is
illegal....and still feel they have no obligation to repay any of the ill-gotten gain.

Oh right, that's forgiven now so there is no longer an obligation to repay anything.
I guess that was a poor example of living up to an obligation based on a trade
agreement. Chrysler will man-up if it is in their interests, like continuing to be
able to sell their products in this country.

Since you haven't tried to correct me, it appears I assumed right.

No ... you didn't.

If the company is broke, what is left to be split up for severance packages? How much simpler can it be?

Try a little more read and a lot less assumption. You interpreted completely wrong. Don't quit your day job because as a psychic ... you suck! Why correct you? From what I have seen of your posts, you are always right anyhow....

Now, do try to stick to the topic.

The company will not go broke. The plants will be rebuilt elsewhere. That's how simple it can be.

Oh the rose coloured glasses. Chrysler is most definitely on the verge of going broke, and they don't need to rebuild plants - they have OVER capacity now. Furthermore, with the US gov't bailout money, the plants to be kept open will be US plants, NOT Canadian plants.
