Chrysler's Valentine: 13,000 Pink Slips

[133724]

CBS/AP) In the next three years, 13,000 Chrysler workers will lose their jobs under a wrenching restructuring announced Wednesday that eventually may lead to a DaimlerChrysler divorce.

The Chrysler unit of the German-American automaker announced its long-awaited plan at its Auburn Hills headquarters, saying it would cut 16 percent of the U.S. division's worldwide work force, a move it hoped would return its U.S. operations to profitability by next year.

4. I think it's a matter of just keeping their doors open

I'm very sorry for the workers who will not retain their jobs. Few things in life are worse than being laid off.

selling Chrysler altogether. It's hard to imagine things getting worse but, alas, they might :(
