Job cuts

Yet another news article outlining job cuts: 
"Over the past five years, the Big Three American automakers, Chrysler, GM and Ford, have cut 140,000 jobs. Just last November, GM said it would slash 30,000 jobs and close up to 12 factories. And more cuts at GM might be coming. General Motors reported a loss of $8.6 billion in 2005, its largest since 1992.

    Ford's jobs cuts are part of what it calls a "restructuring" plan to reverse a $1.6 billion loss in its home market last year. But Ford actually announced an overall profit of $2 billion for 2005. The cuts make up 20 percent of Ford's North American work force."


k9disc suggests another way of spreading the word:

GM didn't cut jobs, GM Fired people.

GM didn't reduce their North American workforce, they reduced opportunity for Americans.

GM didn't restructure their workforce, GM added 30,000 American families to the ranks of the uninsured.

GM didn't close a plant, GM abandoned this community

Jobs are People.
