The decrease in employment levels primarily reflects implementation of our personnel-reduction programs in
North America.
Substantially all of the hourly employees in our Automotive operations are represented by unions and covered
by collective bargaining agreements. In the United States, approximately 99% of these unionized hourly
employees in our Automotive sector are represented by the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of America ("UAW" or "United Automobile Workers"). Approximately two
percent of our U.S. salaried employees are represented by unions. Most hourly employees and many non-
management salaried employees of our subsidiaries outside of the United States also are represented by unions.
We have entered into collective bargaining agreements with the UAW, and the National Automobile,
Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada ("CAW" or "Canadian Automobile Workers").
Among other things, our agreements with the UAW and CAW provide for guaranteed wage and benefit levels
throughout the term of the respective agreements, and provide for significant employment security, subject to
certain conditions. As a practical matter, these agreements may restrict our ability to close plants and divest
businesses during the terms of the agreements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation – Overview" for discussion of our recently-negotiated UAW agreement. This
agreement with the UAW expires on September 14, 2011. Our agreement with the CAW expires on
September 16, 2008. Historically, negotiation of new collective bargaining agreements with the UAW and CAW
typically resulted in increases in wages and benefits, including retirement benefits.
