Ford GM wage pact protections challenge true guaranteed pay

The plan hinges on deductible tax treatment and state unemployment rules, with trust funds of 5 cents per hour up to 55 million and 150 million respectively.

In Singapore today the strike outlook improved as about 2,000 taxi cabs resumed service and officials urged tuck operators to transport children to school.
