Detroit automakers and union leaders spar over 4,800 layoffs at non-striking factories_我的网站

曼联再次与荷兰前锋哈维·西蒙斯（Xavi Simons）联系在一起，西班牙「Fichajes转会网」报道称，红魔欲以1.35亿欧元向其效力的德甲莱比锡红牛求购，这一数字将远远超过俱乐部队史1亿欧元的最高引援纪录。

如果莱比锡接受曼联的报价，他们将获得5500万欧元的利润。

二 |     DETROIT -- Detroit's three automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the United Auto Workers strikes, which have lasted for nearly four weeks.The companies say the strikes have nevertheless forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes. In one case, layoffs have been imposed at a factory that uses supplies from a parts factory on strike.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less favorable terms in negotiations with automakers. The factories that have been affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. “We’re not looking at huge numbers of workers relative to the ones actually being struck. But there is fallout.”In a statement, Bryce Currie, vice president of Americas manufacturing at Ford, said: “While we are doing what we can to avoid layoffs, we have no choice but to reduce production of parts that would be destined for a plant that is on strike."UAW President Shawn Fain countered in a statement that the automakers were using layoffs to pressure the union into settling the strike. With billions in profits, Fain argued, the companies don’t have to lay off a single employee.The UAW began striking against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The next week, the union expanded the strike to 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. All told, about 25,000 workers have walked off their jobs at the three automakers. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. By contrast, anyone who is laid off would qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. “Their plan won’t work,” Fain said. “The UAW will make sure any worker laid off in the Big Three’s latest attack will not go without an income.”GM said it has laid off 2,330 workers, including 1,600 at a temporarily closed assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, that makes the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Cadillac XT4 small SUV. The plant uses metal parts produced at the GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri, which is on strike. Other GM facilities that have been affected by layoffs are in Lockport, New York; Toledo, Ohio; Marion, Indiana; Parma, Ohio; and Lansing, Michigan.Ford said it has laid off 1,865 workers. They include 600 auto-body and parts-stamping employees in Wayne, Michigan, who are not on strike but who have been affected by a nearby assembly plant that has been struck. Other Ford locations with layoffs include Chicago; Sterling Heights and Livonia, Michigan; and Cleveland and Lima, Ohio. Stellantis said late Monday that it had laid off about 640 workers, including 520 at an engine factory complex in Trenton, Michigan, that supplies a Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio, that is on strike. Other locations with layoffs include a metal casting plant in Kokomo, Indiana, and a machining factory in Toledo. Fiorani said that if the strike widens, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Once metal stamping factories that supply multiple assembly plants have produced enough parts for non-striking facilities, the companies would likely shut them down.“Once you've filled up the stocks for the other plants you supply," he said, “you have to lay off the workers and wait out the strike.”Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.Fiorani said that while larger parts suppliers can likely withstand the strike, smaller companies that make parts for the bigger companies might not have enough cash or the ability to borrow to outlast the job actions. Some, he said, may have a couple dozen workers “and don't have billions in value to use as collateral in loans,” he said. Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry's ongoing transition to electric vehicles.。本赛季，他们用5000万欧元从巴黎圣日耳曼买断了西蒙斯，加上浮动条款最高可达8000万欧元。

当然，此事目前还纯属传闻，曼联确实需要西蒙斯这样的球员，荷兰国脚本赛季参与了16个进球（10球6助攻），能够胜任多个进攻位置，阿莫林想要这样充满活力的全面前锋。

21岁的西蒙斯也可能愿意踢英超，但他的最大梦想还是重返巴萨。「我还是个年轻球员，我有很多梦想，俱乐部也知道。」西蒙斯说，「但现在对我来说，最重要的是在接下来的比赛中打好比赛。然后我们还要参加国际比赛，之后的问题我们再观望一下。」

据西班牙《世界体育报》报道，西蒙斯的内心似乎仍然眷恋着青训时期效力的巴萨。他在2010年至2019年期间，曾在著名的拉玛西亚青训学院效力近10年，他从未掩饰过自己对巴萨的热爱。

不过，巴萨没钱，意大利转会专家法布里齐奥·罗马诺表示，西蒙斯转会英超联赛的可能性更大，因为那里对他感兴趣的球队不只是曼联。这名球员也与利物浦联系在一起，阿森纳和切尔西本赛季也对其进行了考察。

只不过，1.35亿欧元的报价传闻完全令人无法相信。这一说法恐怕就像上周奥斯梅恩同意64万欧元周薪加盟曼联一样，更像是球员经纪人的「抬价」手段。

利物浦更可能得到西蒙斯，如果他们真正采取行动的话。红牛全球足球主管恰是前利物浦主帅克洛普，后者希望削减莱比锡1700万英镑的工资预算。罗马诺认为，6400万英镑足以签下他。

罗马诺解释道：「正如几周前报道的那样，哈维·西蒙斯计划在夏季转会。英超俱乐部被告知，他们是西蒙斯最有可能的目的地，大约7500万欧元的转会费足以说服莱比锡。西蒙斯梦想有一天能为巴萨效力，但这个夏天不太可能。

曼联夏窗确实想要引进一名中锋和一名10号位的球员，除了西蒙斯，还有许多球员也是阿莫林的潜在引进目标，例如狼队10号库尼亚和南安普顿边锋泰勒·迪布林（Tyler Dibling）。

六 | 其中，19岁的迪布林传闻被标价1亿英镑！

对于这一传闻，迪布林周末1-1战平西汉姆联后公开进行了回应：「兰博（拉姆斯代尔）很喜欢这些传闻，每次我在训练中射门没打正，他都会高喊：『9000万英镑！8000万英镑！』他把我的身价一千万一千万调低，这很有趣。还有人给我起了一些绰号，都是开玩笑而已，没人当真。这只是传闻中的数字，看着玩就好。」

提及转会曼联的传闻，迪布林表示：「我不会去想这些，只是每天努力训练，努力付出，尽我所能。总而言之，我爱南安普顿，我从8岁起就在这里。这是一支非常棒的球队，我正在努力和他们一起卷土重来。没有人想成为联赛历史上最差的球队，我不想，队里也没人想，所以我们现在的目标就是拿一分是一分，再多拿几分，这样我们就不会被冠以最差英超球队的头衔。
