Day 2 or 3 for this article too.

Someone took the weekend off.

Try automation. It doesn't get tired or lazy.

Work smart because someone at GB sure isn't working hard.

Since GM is moving it's business to China, Detroit could use the jobs and 500 is better than none.

Go Ford!

Ford never asked for any help from the government, but does not seem to get the best deal from the unions. Something has to give somewhere.
