Whirlpool to cut 4,500 jobs in plant closures

Yep, the Bush economy is just humming right along...

Whirlpool to cut 4,500 jobs in plant closures - Financial Times - MSNBC.com:

"Whirlpool announced plans on Wednesday to close three laundry-making plants as part of its integration of Maytag, though pledged to maintain washer and dryer production in the US.

The US group created the world's largest maker of household appliances with the $1.7bn takeover of its smaller rival, which had struggled with higher-cost plants as competitors switched production to Asia and Latin America."
