Tanya Humphrey, 45, worked for 14-years at the Chrysler Plant in Fenton, MO, making mini-vans. When the plant closed in November 2008 she was laid off.
Humphrey thought she had found a new start when she was hired at the Chrysler truck plant in Fenton, but her job there only lasted two weeks before she was laid off again. 
The mother of three children, two in high-school and the youngest just nine, Humphrey gets nervous when she thinks about how she is going to pay the bills. And while she hopes that the layoff at the truck plant might be temporary, she’s not sure. Between now and June 30th Chrysler will go through a re-structuring and Humphrey hopes that after that time she might be called back to the plant to work.
But that job would soon disappear; it would only be to help Chrysler prepare to shut down that plant too in October 2009.
Humphrey doesn’t know what else to do. She holds out hope that at least in the near future she’ll get a few more weeks of work at the Chrysler truck plant.
But after that? Who knows?
