[QUOTE="Guitarman01, post: 5578772, member: 90385"] How about this one? [HEADING=2]GM terminates hundreds of contract workers as it tries to shave $2 billion from its budget[/HEADING] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/gm-terminates-hundreds-contract-workers-160150880.html[/URL] Business expert Erik Gordon of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business said terminating contract employees is something many corporations do to save money. "Contract workers are in an in-between land where they are not employees of the company, don't get company benefits, and can't count on long-term work," said Gordon. "When contractors are let go, companies don't think of it in terms of forcing them. They think of it as just not renewing work that always was temporary. It's a strained but common interpretation of 'forced cuts' or 'job loss.

It would almost be like a slight of hand done intentionally to mask a true goal. I mean probably not, but what would that really look like before it happened? [/QUOTE]
