Ford Laying off 400 white collar workers

Looks like Ford is going to the axe to reduce their fixed costs. They may even cut more if they can't keep their expenses in line. I have a feeling that some of these people will find a nice home at Fords competitors. This is certainly good news for the auto company as well:

Furthermore, CEO Bill Ford told reporters in Detroit that a comprehensive restructuring plan would be unveiled some time before October aimed at bolstering Ford's ailing North American auto business.

I think they really need some restructuring because they are ailing badly in this market when compared to their Japanese and even American competitors.
