General Motors says it plans to cut another 1900 jobs in North America so it can deal with a worsening cash crunch. The cuts are in addition to 3600 lay-offs GM announced last week. The company has lost more than $400 million since July due to declining sales. Analysts say the entire U.S. auto industry is at risk and so are millions of jobs. VOA's Mil Arcega reports.

  • I blame most of the problems with the UAW. Unions have got away too long with threats, violence and intimidation. Sure, the GM senior management were short sighted, but the union tied their hands behind their back.

  • The reason for this is simple: When the auto industry stopped making sub compact cars and focused(No pun intended)on the low mileage SUV's they were setting themselves up for a fall when gas prices spiked after Katrina.

    Its really ironic they're talking about the effects on the economy when they started outsourcing jobs years ago to raise their profits.

    If we bail them out, are they going to re-open the factories here or move those operations(AND JOBS) to Mexico and India?
