As a trade-off for the bailout money it is receiving from the U.S. government, General Motors will be required to trim an additional 10,000 “white collar” employees. This follows an already taken lay-off of 5,000 white collar workers in the last year.
An Obama Administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained the mandated unemployment. “With the unemployment rate soaring, some may question the mandated firings. Isn’t it contradictory to the intent of the ‘stimulus’ legislation, they ask. Well, this administration isn’t just simply concerned with the number of jobs. The type of job is also important.”
“First, these are non-union jobs,” the official continued. “This is not the type of job that the president is committed to protecting or creating in his stimulus plan. Second, the administrative functions performed by these people will no longer be needed. From now on, all the key executive decisions for the firm will be made by the government.”

SCREW YOU!!
Thank you for your vote,
President in Thief, Barack Obama
By the way, my reply was semi serious/semi satire
Satire....
Right...marching orders from the UAW no doubt.
No one noticed.
Estimates were this could have continued for weeks with no damage to service.
Good Sunday chuckle John. Thanks.
so, i guess GM refuses to rid themselves of the real problem with their union workforce
Sounds like a great name for a GM car
The 2010 Satire
Obama hates WHITE collar people.
You’re racist, Johnny. They’re called “caucasian-collared workers”. Get with the program.
Right the only jobs in the stimulus are union NOT PRIVATE INDUSTRY. This is designed to expand the labor party, coffers and voting pool for future elections for the Liberals.
Maybe the government could do the same and save the taxpayers some money.
The get whitey plan that Rev Wright talked at length about. Sort of bold to state it outright, don't you think?
So when does whitey get it?
What the heck do you know, you aint nothing but a right wing, redneck, hill billy, bible clinger for gosh sake, pipe down ~
No Chit I know that
Had GM canned more of its white collar workers...they would not be needing a bailout
One thing about business....if they are over paying the non-management employees....you KNOW they are over paying the management.
The government should not mandate this....but, they took bailout money...
There fixed it
Boy - isn't that telling. While GM might be top-heavy, for the government to just come out and say "get rid of 10K more employees" from ANY field of work in the company is insane. Particularly from a president who ran on and have promised that he will put Americans to work...
What a lying sack of dung. And those in CONgress who likely back this up.
