UAW, auto firms working to cut costs, save jobs - By CONNIE MABIN - AP, Buffalo News
CLEVELAND - Shuttered plants. Thousands of good-paying jobs lost. Retiree benefits at risk. Global competition. An uncertain future.
Those words describe the situation now confronting 75,000 Ford Motor Co. employees, faced with plant closings and buyouts as the company moves forward with its plan to cut 30,000 jobs and get business back on track. And last week, DaimlerChrysler AG announced it will cut retail shipments by 16 percent to reduce a backlog in dealers' lots, which means some plants will see temporary shutdowns between now and the end of the year.
They're words the United Auto Workers union has heard before from a brethren industry - the one that produces the steel for the cars they build.------------------------------------------- posted 5:50 AM :: reference link ::
