Re: DaimlerChrysler to Eliminate 6,000 Jobs
Those job cuts are in Europe. That wouldn't have anywhere near the impact of the GM and Ford cuts.

Re: DaimlerChrysler to Eliminate 6,000 Jobs
The fact that there actually are jobs being eliminated in Europe is sort of intersesting, though. From things that I have read, their labor agreements make RIFs pretty difficult endeavors, including politically difficult.
Although of course, the jobs proposed for elimination are not production jobs, but rather white-collar ones. |

Re: DaimlerChrysler to Eliminate 6,000 Jobs
So...is the media going to think the Big3 are even worse now...and Toyota better, because Toyota is building new plants?

ABC World News mentioned it. They were quick to point out that most of the cuts would be in Germany.
