An auto parts maker says it will close its South Bend facilities by the end of 2011 and will offer about 170 of the 250 employees
who work there jobs elsewhere.
The South Bend Tribune says Robert Bosch Corp. announced Tuesday that it will offer about 20 employees in the truck braking
division positions in nearby St. Joseph, Mich.
Sixty other workers from the braking division and 30 from the corporate office will be offered jobs at corporate headquarters
in Farmington Hills, Mich. Sixty employees in the information technology group will be offered jobs either in Farmington Hills
or Mount Prospect, Ill., near Chicago.
The move follows Bosch's decision a year ago to sell off its foundation braking business to Tokyo-based Akebono Brake
Industries Co.

You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.

For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !

Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.

Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.

So what do you do, subsidize it, bail it out or repeal nafta and force us to pay a higher price to keep our neighbors employed? Or look for the next thing and move forward to something other than manufacturing.
