...persuade the U.A.W. that what's good for GM is good for labor, even if it means shutting down plants and laying off workers. The company can't slim down easily, a legacy of earlier battles with the U.A.W. and labor deals that make it prohibitively expensive to shutter factories. What happens to a GM worker when his or her plant shuts down? Not much. Under GM's contract with the U.A.W., laid-off workers are entitled to 95% of their salary plus benefits for nearly two years.

The camera will ask you to confirm the crop, then save it with a new number, leaving the full image intact on your memory card...
Much misinformation has been published about the events which immediately followed discovery, at approximately 10 p. m., of the child's disappearance. Nurse, wife and husband rushed to the nursery. What they saw may be reconstructed as follows: two shuttered windows; a third, facing east, was not shuttered because one shutter was warped and would not close; mud, apparently from shoes, lay on the floor and on the shutterless windowsill below which, contrary to previous report, there was no piece of furniture; an empty crib standing in its position toward the centre of the room.
