is that the unions for, the united auto workers for asking too much and demanding higher salaries, more benefits or is it the companies who gave away the store? we hear that a lot. some people criticize general motors. they just gave everything away to the uaw. people have to remember that these contracts the union negotiated were and these companies were making a lot of money. maybe they didn't look down the road far enough but maybe in the '90s, maybe even a little later when the gas prices weren't such, so low that everybody wanted to own a seven passenger suv, might have been the time to look at hybrids or at least direct more resources towards the smaller more fuel-efficient cars. a lot of americans wanted them and weren't getting them from gm, ford or chrysler. >> host: were you surprised at the mechanism that companies use to move some of their legacy costs off of their balance sheets? >> guest: the 2007 labor talks were really a watershed and the union should be given credit for understanding that general motors in particular could not afford the billions and billions of dollars

." >> tom: chrysler has finally hammered out a deal with the united auto-workers union. it's the last of detroit's big automakers to do so. the four-year pact calls for the addition of 2,100 jobs in the u.s. over the next four years. chrysler also will invest $4.5 billion in its plants and lineup of cars. union workers will get a $3,500 signing bonus and $1,000 in annual bonuses. however, most yearly raises were replaced by profit sharing. >> susie: also from detroit today, general motors is supercharging its lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles with an all-electric subcompact. the chevy spark will go on sale in 2013. g.m. won't say yet how much the the tiny plug-in will cost or how far it will go on a single charge. it will first go on sale in california and washington to help meet the zero-emission requirements in those states. g.m. chief marketing officer joel ewanick says the spark will be rolled out in other states as the infrastructure for electric vehicles improves. >> what we find is there is a lot of frustration for people who have electric cars in that they can't

trade policy to union workers at ford have ratified a new, four-year labor agreement. 63% of united auto workers union members voted to approve the contract. ford expects the deal will reduce labor costs over the next four years as it adds nearly 12,000 u.s. jobs. the contract also is expected to clear the way for ford's credit rating to be upgraded. both standard & poor's and moody's said recently that they might take action if the contract got approved. abbott labs is breaking up. the healthcare conglomerate plans to split into two companies. one will focus on brand-name prescription drugs, the other will concentrate on medical devices, diagnostic tests and baby formula. abbott is not the only big pharma company spinning off units. pfizer, the world's biggest drugmaker, said earlier this year that it would sell or spin off its animal health and nutritional products units. it's make or break time for the n.b.a. owners and players are meeting for a second straight day, trying to resolve pro basketball's labor dispute. the main sticking point is the division of revenues between owners and players

workers. and hilary kramer is back as our "street critique" guest. email questions to streetcritique@nbr.com. >> susie: ford is the latest detroit auto maker to reach a deal with the united auto workers union. ford says the agreement will make it more competitive. the contract will add more than 5,700 jobs and invest nearly $5 billion in ford factories. most of the new hires will be entry-level positions, which will cut the company's labor costs. union workers at general motors ratified their contract last week, leaving only chrysler without a labor deal. it's still in talks with the uaw. >> tom: ford isn't the only company adding jobs. department store kohl's announced 40,000 new positions. the only catch is its seasonal work for the holiday season. it works out to about 35 additional workers in each of kohls's 1,100 stores. the temporary hiring plan is up about 5% from last year's levels. hiring has already begun and is expected to be completed by mid- november. >> susie: when what's owed is often far different than what's paid. allan sloan weighs in on corporate taxes. he's senior editor-at-large at "fortune." >> the words "accounting" and "simple" rarely appear in th

contract negotiations between chrysler and the united auto workers will resume tomorrow after an around-the-clock bargaining session failed to secure a new national contract. neither side will discuss the progress on negotiations. chrysler is the last of the big three u.s. automakers to sit down with the union in this year's contract talks. general motors workers have already ratified a new contract and their counterparts at ford are voting on one now. >> tom: if you were expecting a message from a blackberry user in europe, the middle east or africa today, you may still be waiting. the service had a hard time sending texts and emails today from those locations. blackberry maker research in motion is investigating the problems. they apologized for the outage, but no reason for the problem was given. despite competition from apple's iphone, blackberry usage remains high throughout europe and the middle east. >> susie: the senate takes up the president's jobs bill tomorrow, but tonight's commentator has another way to boost jobs. he's bernard baumohl, chief global economist at the economic outlook

but first the new labor deal with the united auto workers union has been ratified. some analysts estimate that ford still has the highest cost per hour for employees. is the profit improvement you're forecasting sustainable with this deal? >> absolutely. and it will just get better over time. in addition to the wages and benefits which are now very competitive, we also have enhanced the flexibility of our work rules so, that we can flex the operation to produce the vehicles in the amount that people really do want and value, and do it more efficiently. so that's absolutely a key part to us improving the fish en sip of our operations. >> tom: with that sustain ability of the improvement, you mentioned improving the balance sheet, paying down the dealt, you ended the quour with 20 billion in cash. what's the tipping point for ford restoring that shareholder dividend? >> well, we've explained that over time we want to get to probably in debt is around 10 billion. but clearly this is a very positive development for us to be able to pay another 1.3 billion of our debt do

united auto workers. united federation of teachers and the always reliable sciu. of course, not all workers in the union support bringing down capitalism, they don't. but again, what do these people want? the common thread seems to be income equality. groups like the working families party. and the strong economy for all coalition are basically socialistic outfits. they want the government to take money away from the affluent and give it to them. nice deal if you can get it and you can get it in places like cuba and zimbabwe. soros doesn't want socialism. he is the biggest capitalist on the planet. he wants power and the groups are using the far left zealots to try to achieve that. these people are not asking for voluntary h help. they want to take stuff by force if necessary. it is true the far left is very disappointed with president obama because he has not been radical enough. mr. obama rightly knows the vast majority of americans do not want socialism and while some of his programs are designed to redistribute income the president knows he would be doomed if
