(non-union) heads rolling at Government Motors

hmmm I remember how well they did before when they shed jobs in R&D, engineering and such...

General Motors Co. has quietly begun laying off white-collar workers as it works to consolidate its global operations.



The numbers are small — a dozen here, a dozen there — but more are coming before the end of the year.



"GM is continually seeking ways to improve our operating performance and reduce complexity to deliver a world-class cost structure and profit margins," spokesman Jay Cooney told The Detroit News. "We are streamlining our business, looking for efficiencies and, to this extent, there could be some headcount reductions and it will be on a global basis."



The cuts are focused on engineering, product development and corporate operations at General Motors' headquarters in Detroit's Renaissance Center. But the company stressed that no mass layoffs are planned.

More good news for Motown. Just what they needed.

Last month, the company posted a third-quarter profit of $1.7 billion.

well that explains everything...

Meanwhile, tht other US automaker, you know, the one that didn't take the government handou.. I mean bailouts:

Ford posts best 1Q profit in 13 years

Maybe government running the means of production isn't such a good idea after all. Let's see.. government ownership of the means of production is the classic definition of .. of.. what ism is that again? The one that has been show over and over not to work?

Unless the tide is the workers...if they rise you say they sank the boat...
