After 6,000 Take Buyouts, G.M. to Lay Off Thousands
• NYtimes.comG.M. said Monday that about 6,000 hourly workers had left as of Saturday. That means the company still has about 48,000 hourly workers, which is 7,500 more than its year-end goal of 40,500.
Ah, but not to worry. GM may not be all that good at making cars but when it comes to laying off union works, they're second to none!
