The Detroit News has learned that the language, which was included in recent contract changes the UAW negotiated with General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, was mandated by the Obama administration as a condition of its bailout of the two companies.

The 1,000 involuntary cuts are part of GM's plan to slash 6,000 salaried jobs by the end of the year and most will hit southeastern Michigan communities with GM operations such as Detroit, Warren, Milford and Pontiac. The area already is reeling from pending GM factory closures and blue-collar job cuts from earlier this year. GM... Full article...

In 2008, Congress required NHTSA to study whether to require power windows to reverse direction when they detect an obstruction, to prevent children from being trapped, injured, or killed.

Production of a two-seat, all-electric car in Norway was halted when Think sought bankruptcy protection in December.
