[Shotimes] Ford to cut 25,000-30,000 jobs

[James White]

Hopefully they will do what Caterpillar did a few years ago in Peoria,
stand their ground for a couple of years!

Caterpillar kept their plants running with better quality (using 
management and temporary workers) than ever before.

The union caved and accepted what ever Caterpiller had to offer.

A welcome change!
