Here's a cost-cutting tip for Northwest Airlines. Stop publishing insensitive cost-cutting tips to employees you are laying off. Among the tips: pulling stuff out of the trash, moving to less expensive places and buying spare parts for cars at junkyards all, by the way, falling smack-dab into the no-duh category. Here's what employees really want to know: When can you rehire them so they won't have to rummage through the trash, give up their homes or buy secondhand parts? Northwest is reducing its payroll and costs to the tune of $1.4 billion annually to get out of bankruptcy by 2007. OK. Getting out of bankruptcy is a worthy goal and will result, we hope, in rehirings. But the list in the booklet, prepared for Northwest by NEAS, an employee assistance company in Pewaukee, comes under ...

CARACAS, Venezuela - Doing business in post-Hugo Chavez Venezuela is not for the faint of heart.
Thousands of companies suffer under currency controls that all but deny them the U.S. dollars they need to import vital items into this oil-rich country, from food to cars to spare parts - even gasoline. Venezuelan firms must sell their wares at state- controlled prices that don't reflect the 22 percent inflation rate, the highest in Latin America. Even Venezuela's socialist government admits the controls don't work - but its attention is focused on the April 14 election to replace the late President Hugo Chavez.

NORTHBROOK, Ill., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In less than ten minutes, Allstate Insurance Company's three-man Stripped in Seconds team can turn a car or truck into an empty shell and a pile of parts. The real bad guys can do it even faster. In a series of chop shop demonstrations taking place across the country, Allstate is illustrating how quickly a thief can turn a vehicle into sellable parts that often are worth more than the vehicle as whole.
It can take an expert auto thief as little as seven seconds and one screwdriver to break into a vehicle, and less than one minute to drive away. According to Allstate, many of the most commonly stolen cars are snatched for their parts - not the joyrides seen on TV or in the movies. The insurer says the top targets for thieves are often rel...
