  • Chevron to Cut 2,000 Jobs

    Friday, April 16th, 2010

    Chevron said on March 9 it would downsize its global refining and marketing activities to compete in “difficult” market conditions, cutting 2,000 jobs this year.

    At a meeting with financial analysts in New York, Mike Wirth, executive vice president of Chevron’s Global Downstream, said downstream market conditions were “likely to be difficult for the next several years.”

    Chevron will eliminate jobs in 2010 and 2011, including about 2,000 this year, and take 2010 first-quarter severance charges estimated at $150-200 million, he said.

    The company also plans to sell some European activities, including the Pembroke refinery in Wales in Britain, and activities in Caribbean and some Central American markets.

    Chevron will review operations in Hawaii and Africa, outside of South Africa, as it moves to further concentrate its downstream activities in North America and Asia-Pacific.

    The company currently employs about 62,000 people, not including 5,000 who work in gasoline service stations.

    USA saving Clean Energy Manufacturing Jobs

    Friday, April 9th, 2010

    The report, “Winning the Race: How America Can Lead the Global Clean Energy Economy,” released by the Apollo Alliance and Good Jobs First, stressed that this strategy would avoid indirectly subsidizing the growth of clean energy activities in low-wage countries such as China that are emerging as key competitors in the race to lead the global clean energy economy.

    “The United States is currently importing about 70 percent of its renewable energy systems and components,” said Phil Angelides, chairman of the Apollo Alliance. “If that trend continues, we stand to lose out on estimated 100,000 clean energy manufacturing jobs by 2015, and nearly 250,000 by 2030. This country needs a comprehensive clean-energy economic development strategy so we can ensure that jobs being created in the clean energy sector stay in America.”

    The report illustrates this risk by analyzing the recipients of the Recovery Act’s Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit (also known as 48C credits), which President Obama recently proposed expanding funding for by $5 billion due to the program’s success. The report finds that, of the 90 companies that received 48C credits for wind and solar manufacturing projects in the United States, 23 also have been investing in similar production in countries such as China, India, Mexico and Malaysia. The 23 companies, which include both U.S.-based and foreign firms, received a total of $458 million in 48C credits for their U.S. projects.

    “A portion of this offshore investment is meant to serve foreign markets,” said Good Jobs First Research Director Philip Mattera, who analyzed the 48C recipient list for the report. “But these examples demonstrate that the U.S. share of the global clean energy economy – particularly in manufacturing – is far from guaranteed. 48C projects have helped stimulate the clean energy manufacturing sector, but some recipients are putting their primary emphasis on low-wage production for the entire global market.”

    To address this risk, the report recommends a comprehensive strategy to create jobs in the clean energy economy through the entire supply chain. The first step is to ensure an expanded and consistent market for clean energy by passing comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation, and then to expand domestic clean energy manufacturing by:

    * Increasing the Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit by $5 billion, as the president proposed in his FY2011 budget, but adding “clawback” provisions that would enable the federal government to recoup the tax credits if 48C jobs end up being sent offshore.
    * Enacting the “Investments for Manufacturing Progress and Clean Technologies (IMPACT) Act,” which would support small and mid-sized manufacturers by providing capital for investments in energy efficiency and for retooling and expanding into the clean energy supply chain.
    * Investing in the creation of a well-trained work force that meets the needs of U.S. clean energy manufacturers and would make onshore investment more attractive.

    Siemens cuts 4,200 jobs worldwide

    Monday, April 5th, 2010

    Siemens unveiled a broad restructuring of its SIS information technology division that includes the elimination of 4,200 jobs worldwide.

    Around 2,000 of the cuts would come in Germany, where some 9,700 of the division’s staff are employed, according to the business daily Handelsblatt.

    Siemens said it would simplify its Solutions and Services (SIS) division and establish two poles of activity — business information technology solutions and IT outsourcing.

    More than 500 million euros ($US680 million) would be invested in the unit by 2012 in what Siemens called a “market-oriented organization based on two business units with sharp customer focus.” The SIS division previously comprised seven units, the group said.

    It aimed to “build on the specific industry and software know-how of the Siemens sectors, which are world-leaders,” finance director Joe Kaeser said.

    Siemens said in December it would revamp the labor-intensive IT division to make it more flexible and market-oriented. The unit is to be given “all the conditions necessary for a stand-alone operating business by the start of the new fiscal year on October 1, 2010″ which suggests it could be spun off at some point.

    SIS sales have fallen for several years and analysts say its technical staff is better paid than at rivals such as IBM, Hewlett Packard and Accenture.

    Overall, Siemens has spent 500 million euros ($US690 million) to restructure its various divisions and has eliminated 23,000 jobs. At the end of last year, its workforce totaled 405,000 worldwide.

    The group’s vast operations extend from the manufacture of light bulbs and washing machines to medical imaging equipment, wind turbines, nuclear reactors and high-speed trains.

    The United States and India launched a new blitz to boost economy

    Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

    The United States and India launched a new blitz to boost economic, trade and financial cooperation on March 17. They signed a framework for cooperation on trade and investment to build on trade growth, which has more than doubled in the last five years.

    “There is almost limitless potential for growth in trade between our two countries, and that can contribute to economic recovery and job creation in the United States and continued economic growth in India,” said Ron Kirk, the top U.S. trade official.

    “We can realize that potential by working together toward the goals set forth in the framework agreement,” by encourage technological innovation, increasing agriculture, services, and industrial goods and boosting investment flows, he said.

    Kirk, the U.S. Trade Representative, inked the trade and investment pact with Indian minister of commerce and industry Anand Sharma.

    The “numerous synergies linking the economies have not been tapped fully as yet, he said, adding that the pact could “create the right environment to ensure that the relationship brings maximum benefit to the maximum number of people.”

    The development and deployment of clean energy and environmental technologies would also be encouraged under the agreement to support India’s infrastructure growth, Sharma said.

    U.S. goods and services trade with India totaled $66 billion in 2008. India was the 17th largest goods export market for the U.S. in the same year.

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will travel to India on April 6-7 to launch the U.S.-India Economic and Financial Partnership in New Delhi with Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. The partnership was first announced in November when President Barack Obama hosted Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the first state visit since he entered the White House in January.

    The United States already has a standing dialogue with fellow emerging Asian giant China. Officials said that unlike the dialogue with China, which is multi-ministerial, the forum with India was focused purely on economic and financial regulatory policy, led by the U.S. Treasury and the Indian finance ministry.
