Note the reference to the embarrassment the Jobs Bank is causing for the UAW and the UAW moving away from it. How this opens up the way to worker acceptance of the buyout plan. See also the link to Korea, how fast the Korean operations are growing and the link to GM in China and the rest of the world where GM's operations are growing. The picture it presents of a shift to becoming a globalized company with global manufacturing and global vision.

China Wants Germany in Its Corner. It’s Not That Easy.

China is offering Germany narrow wins such as buying more Airbus planes while continuing to focus on another export expansion drive in European Union countries. As it pulls back from the American market  in the face of tariffs by DJT it is selling more automobiles and other products in Germany. China continues to focus on its core potential in electric cars, machine tools, robotics and other products where it competes with German products. German jobs are at stake as China continues its expansion into the European market. This is a big concern for Merz of the CDU as he visits China in Feb 2026.

With 10.3 million workers unemployed according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and this includes 2.8 million added this year so far in 2008. Most of the people who lost their jobs also lost their health benefits. This increases the urgency for the Obama administration to come up with action in the health care area as the ranks of the uninsured will grow in 2009.

Former German Foreign Minister Baerbock starts UN job – DW – 09/07/2025

  
dw.com - 09.08.2025 Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
Though she is not popular with Angela Merkel's wing of the CDU as shown in comments here in DW.com, Annalena Baerbock through her experience as Foreign Minister and her unconventional style, her habit of respect for the dignity of the many nation states in the UN, her natural empathy, may actually be a better choice today for the UN than a German career foreign service diplomat. Different issues are faced by the United Nations than the domestic and European centric issues faced in Berlin and in the approach to government in the Federal Republic. She has often been a keen listener and an eager student of international affairs in her interactions with other countries and cultures, and Baerbock may be an underappreciated asset of the Federal Republic of Germany in the early decades of the 21st century.

The US economy grew at 2% in the third quarter 2010, compared to 1.7% in second quarter 2010. Unemployment remains at 9.6%, and the growth did not generate hiring. Much of the growth came from business building inventories, exports grew at 5%, imports rose 17%. Residential construction plunged, state and local government spending contracted as it did for 6 of the last 8 quarters. This increases concerns about the economy.

Honda and UAW Clash Over New Factory Jobs

Honda's policy of hiring from certain counties within a 50 mile distance from its new plant in Greensburg, Indiana, to keep a good distance from closed UAW plants and keep away from new workers who have UAW loyalties. Honda's policy of hiring at wages near the prevailing wage in the region surrounding the plant, and the freedom from the UAW that enables Honda to follow this wage policy. In a very competitive automobile market the gains made by GM in its negotiations are undercut by Honda and Toyota's own efforts to bring its wages more in line with the area where the plant is located, which are generally lower than the higher wages paid in the past.
