Toyota chief promises nimbler carmaker By Jonathan Soble in Tokyo Published: June 25 2009 10:58 | Last updated: June 25 2009 10:58 Akio Toyoda, the newly installed chief executive of Toyota Motor, on Thursday pledged to bring a looser, more nimble management style to the giant Japanese automaker, which is facing its biggest crisis since Sakichi Toyoda – his grandfather and Toyota’s founder – ran the company six decades ago. At a news conference marking the start of his tenure as CEO, which officially began on Tuesday, he promised “to do everything possible” to return loss-making Toyota to profit in the 2010-2011 financial year, although he said “difficult conditions” would persist for the next two years.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/23/business...tml?_r=1&hp A little insight as to why Ford is different.

As of right now, no production for next week. A lot of people are in though for training and repairs and skilled trades of course.

Supposedly "the bonus" doesn't need to be paid out till two weeks before shut down, seeing that shut down was moved to August "the bonus" is moved now till then. Yes it looks like what it is, a delay tactic so they have time in negotiations and yes so we don't get it.

Get ready for inflation By Russell Napier Published: June 8 2009 17:19 | Last updated: June 8 2009 17:19 The big problem for many investors at the moment is that the information they accumulated during a quarter of a century of global disinflation is just not relevant any more. Whatever comes next as the financial crisis plays out, it cannot be disinflation. Are investors, schooled in the post-1981 marketplace, really capable of correctly pricing financial assets in the post-disinflation world? Oh my, could Dingy be right after all.

heard tonight layoff is cancelled. Yields set to rise after $65bn US Treasury sales By Aline van Duyn in New York Published: June 7 2009 20:34 | Last updated: June 7 2009 20:34 US government bond markets are gearing up for another volatile week and potential yield rises as they prepare to digest another $65bn of new debt sales by the US Treasury, according to analysts. Government bond yields have already risen sharply after a flurry of economic indicators that were interpreted as signalling an end to the US recession.

Heard night shift production ran OT last week. Can anyone confirm, and if so why?

When socialism arrives? $3,000,000,000,000 to the banks alone what do you mean when.

Did you see the Daily interview? Stewart called him a liar and Cramer admited it only after being shown proof from some of his earlier work. What Cramer said in a nutshell was that his job was to mislead so he could take advantage of the morons that listened to him.

Isn't Jim the one that preached the superiority if the free market economy and how bad socialism was (is). I would love to ask him where capitalism would be today without the loving care of some socialism, could a man ever be so wrong. After the interview on the Daily Show how does he still show his face. So to answer the question, is he right about GM, I want to know if he can ever be right about anything again.

Core wage and benefits intact.

Heard it had something to do with transmision fluid, draining all the tanks and refilling with only one type. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with suppliers having problems with Chrysler shutting down.

If you say so, I thought we had to work the week before to get SWW.

not if you didn't work the week before.

We are only down this week not next.

Are we only working a day or two next week? If so we get no short work week or EI.

Have you read the comments?

Remember WMD's, of course there wern't any but who wasn't convinced. It was said over and over again until it just seemed to be obvious. News organizations ceased to bother to even investigate the little they normally did. Even the Neocons admitted to it. The lie works if enough can't be bother, then they just revert to their lower base instincts.

Class? really no really.
