DAYTON -- Paula Fan-non Ruzick followed her parents into automotive factory work, expecting that her job with General Motors Corp. and later Delphi Corp., would last a lifetime. But the former assembly-line worker and forklift driver overhauled her career plans after her father, Silas Fannon, a former GM worker and president of United Auto Workers Local 696 in Dayton, cautioned her that the auto industry was changing and her employment future could be at risk. In 2005, Delphi filed for bankruptcy reorganization, eventually resulting in closure of four of its five Dayton-area auto parts plants and forcing about 5,000 employees to retire or find new careers.

Employment has shifted from a relatively stable and secure relation in which shareholders bore the risks associated with the market and firms buffered the risks vis-à-vis workers to a dynamic relation characterized by employment insecurity and individual responsibility. Modern businesses face new management challenges stemming from decreased employee loyalty and difficulties in supervising and controlling the workforce.

The two lead sponsors of a bill in the Wisconsin Legislature promoting the use of ethanol and the purchase of cars that run on an 85% blend of the corn-based fuel have financial ties to the ethanol and automotive industries, records show. State Rep. Eugene Hahn (R-Cambria) bought $20,000 in shares of United Wisconsin Grain Producers LLC under his wife's name when the company was starting up in 2003.

TORONTO -- General Motors Corp. said Tuesday it doesn't want any increase in its Canadian labor costs in its next contract with the Canadian Auto Workers union and will ask the union to pay for wage increases by cutting other benefits.
