GM Work Force Reduction

And the Aztec.

no such luck, I'm guessing that 99% of the layoffs will be the poor working stiffs and blue collar workers, as usual. they won't even get a golden handshake, but the remaining 1 % might.

Yes, the American way of doing business. Sales are down, we are losing money, the cars perform poorly, they are unreliable, no one wants our cars, well,,,, let's lay off the guys who assemble them, not the guys who designs them, styles them, prices them, and dictates what they will be.

My dad worked at a steel mill. When they were having the problems U.S. steel mills were having, the company brought in efficiency experts.

Recommendations: Lay off 20% of management, increase work force 10%.

Action: Lay off 10% of workforce, increase management 5%.

Since that didn't work, they brought in another efficiency expert.

Guess what they did. Same thing.

I understand that most (that are vested) should get some type buy-out offer. Least that's what I was told by a GM employee with 35 years with GM.

kinda like congress be able to vote in their own benefits :-)
