2010 engine demand prompts layoff plan at Cummins

A friend of my family works there. Cummins already told the workers that this would happen. Many are trying to buy engines while they can still get the "old" ones. It's not really a shortage of engine purchases, just a clustering of them.

 

I personally think the new EPA emission's for 2010 diesel engine's is B.S.
Why does'nt the Government go after the big factories more.This will hurt the O/O more so in the year's ahead.

 

Hopefully sales will pick back up towards april. Heard about this yesterday while at work.

 

They have gone after big factoies. Thats why there moving to China. Alcoa in Rock Dale, TX is cutting 3000+ jobs in a town of 30,000 and sold most if the coal plant to China. The envoinmentalist will be the death of this country. Someone call AL Gore, tell him to turn up the heat, we are looking for snow in Houston for the 3rd time in 4 years.
