I just read VW Fact #481 from this web site.
Quote: VW Fact #481: In July 1965, Volkswagenwerk's factories in Hanover, Brunswick, Kassel, and Emden shut down so their 45,000 employees could take their annual three-week paid vacations.
How long would the vacation be for Wolfsburg Employees in 1965?
Which German factories produced the Beetle for the 1965 and 1966 model years?

Anyone who works in corporate america spends at least 1 week of their yearly vacation working on their vw.

I don't know, I think it's more surprising to some that Europeans in general enjoy far better pay and benefits than American workers. Imagine taking several weeks off on holiday with pay.
