<It is not standard policy for international companies.> MAN claims in their annual report that wages and benefits will total around $10 million a year. At a grand a job that would be 10,000 jobs, so I believe they have something else in mind other than a huge number of make work jobs. This is certainly not something to lie or kid around about, so I'm inclined to accept this as the higher paid technical and heavy equipment jobs of the 11k vintage. Also bear in mind the 25% govt ownership. If somebody can determine that the clearly written annual report claim is smoke and mirrors or a fabrication, let me know as I would be out in a heartbeat.
