My take on Homecoming

[WackyDan]

Guys,
We had a visitor in our small town, and he saw I owner a Spyder. He said he lives in Canada about 40 miles from where they make the Spyders. He told me that BRP was laying off worker at their plant, and may be considering shutting it down. Since I do not know the guy, or know where he lives, did any of you see any signs of slow down or closing their plant, or anything relating to his statements. To be honest, I did not believe him! I just told him I liked my Spyder!

The Spyder line does not run year round just like some of their other lines. There are workers that they lay off every single year once a production run is done. I met one of those workers this trip. Apparently in order to keep a line running all year takes about 34,000 plus units of sales/demand. BRP currently makes up to 16,000 Spyders a year. Some of the guys work multiple lines and are full time. Some get laid off yearly and then return to do it again. The guy I talked to was knowledgeable and said he liked being laid off. He has been working for BRP for several years like this.
