...rational reason behind this mess. Levi's probably needs to cut these jobs in order to stay afloat in a hostile market. Guess again: Levi's earned record profits in 1996. In 1995, it reaped over $734 million in net income. And the value of the company has grown tenfold over the past 12 years. There may be instances when layoffs are necessary, but is this really one of them...
...West, have emerged to seize 25% of the national market. American Medical Response has devoured 75 competitors Pac-Man style in four years, and now operates 1,760 ambulances in 28 states. MedTrans, which last year swallowed another giant, CareLine Inc., is just as large and has grown tenfold, into a $500 million operation with 12,000 employees. In fiscal 1995-96, MedTrans, a division of Canada's Laidlaw Inc., an environmental and transportation company, posted a 180% jump in profits, to $55 million. Not far behind the two is Arizona's Rural/Metro Corp., which increased revenues...

Some $20 million is earmarked for membership drives, and the tactics are increasingly bareknuckled--as in the effort to drive away New Otani's tour business. The number of organizers deployed by the federation has increased more than tenfold since 1990. And defying labor's stereotype as a bastion of old white males, the new organizers are mostly in their 20s and 30s, mostly female and, like Campos, increasingly from minority groups...
HANTAVIRUS. In 1993 a six-year drought followed by heavy rains produced a tenfold increase in the population of deer mice in the American Southwest, leading to an outbreak of a deadly form of pulmonary hantavirus. The disease, which first appeared on a Navajo reservation, has since spread to 20 states and killed 45 people, nearly half of those infected...
