Christian, did you actually look up anybody on this list and see what they really do(or not do)...Like

"Vestas Wind Systems - said it’s reducing headcount by 3,000"...Green energy you repubs hate and refuse to buy, no wonder they are going down.


or how about the US Cellular announcement:
"U.S. Cellular will sell markets including Chicago to units of Sprint Nextel Corp. for $480 million.
The move will result in 980 job cuts at U.S. Cellular, with 640 in the Chicago area, according to a spokeswoman. The cuts are slightly under 12 percent of the approximately 8,400 total employees U.S. Cellular had at the end of the third quarter.
The company plans to keep its headquarters in Chicago"

This has nothing to do with the elections...was in place well before

Go ahead and thread ban me, if you can't handle the truth.


and here is the Hawker Beech announcement:
"Hawker Beechcraft says the moves are in line with plans to emerge from bankruptcy as a standalone company. It says the closures and layoffs will help with its plan to focus on turboprop, piston and military aircraft and on its parts and maintenance business."


and let's look at Energizer:

Energizer Holdings Inc said on Thursday that it would cut more than 10 percent of its workforce, or about 1,500 people, as it tries to rev up results in its battery business.

A restructuring at the company, which also makes Schick razors, was in the works for months. In September, Energizer said it planned to cut jobs and expenses but until Thursday it had not disclosed details of the plan.

This year, the company faced pressures including losing shelf space for batteries at Walmart and stepped up competition from larger rival Procter & Gamble Co's Gillette razors. At the same time, it has been under constant pressure as popular iPads, mobile phones and other electronic gadgets do not require its kind of batteries.

"It is absolutely what the company has to do in the context of declining market share, declining category growth in batteries and much tougher competition," Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Ali Dibadj said of the restructuring. "This is a short-term Band-Aid, but going forward they're still stuck in very difficult categories and positions in those categories."


Downsizing / Streamlining due to Market Competition NOT the election or Obamacare
