That's only going to work in <45% of the cases.
GM tried this in the 1990s with furloughed workers -- It did work is some cases but it wasn't a shining success story. A lot of these guys like these are now the 'deplorables' with their red MAGA hats on.
Some were unable to adapt.

I really don't have a solution but they are going to lose on this upcoming deal -- you can bet on that. Trickle down economics is not going to help them much.
