Auto job losses continue as Chrysler, GM make cuts

DETROIT – The employment carnage in the ever-shrinking U.S. auto industry continued Thursday as Chrysler LLC announced it would get rid of 1,825 factory jobs and General Motors Corp. trimmed some benefits and said it would make further white-collar cuts.
As the shaky U.S. economy speeds the industry's out-of-control slide, and tight credit cuts into sales, Auburn Hills-based Chrysler said the jobs will be eliminated at the end of the year when it closes a Newark, Del., sport utility vehicle plant ahead of schedule and eliminates a shift at a Toledo, Ohio, Jeep plant.
At GM, senior managers sent a memo to executives Wednesday saying early retirement and buyout offers to white-collar workers had been well-received but that the company still would have to make involuntary layoffs.

America is not a socialist nation, if you want to see the backbone, it is coming. We do not need welfare checks for the 40% who do not pay taxes at all, nor do we need them to tell us what is wrong with America. If you have any kind of gumption you can find a good paying job in this country!
