Car makers using profits abroad to pay off US employees! Ford trying to sign up thousands of workers to take buyouts, partly by convincing them that their brightest future lies outside the company that long offered middle-class wages for blue-collar jobs.

Shareholders must be fuming!!!

already cut about 80,000 jobs through buyouts and early retirements since 2006, a new blitz is under way to shrink employment even further to make way for lower-paid workers in the future

As you can see here, getting ready for deflation.

In the early 1900s, the company founder, Henry Ford, transformed the American workplace by pioneering $5-a-day wages on the assembly line. And the company’s paternalistic culture still lingers in the way workers often refer to the company as “Ford’s,” in reference to the family that provided them a comfortable income.

A company, a little bit comunist, becomes capitalist. Like Ford in Brazil alreayd had been for ages. Guess which one is profitable and will survive
