UPS may be paying people off in Spain and Portugal!
Translated roughly:
UPS Spain plan an Employee Regulation Action to lay off 216 employees. The regulation presented by UPS will affect 216 of the 1100 employees of their Spanish workforce. The company claims that these layoffs are due to organizational reasons and deny any relation with the economic crisis. The trade unions have already rejected the cuts.
Cuts like these have an impact on the global economy, with jobs gone, services also go, then more jobs, retail gets hit further and so on… it is like a spiral of negative economies that scares people and puts even more of us into unemployment.

The reality that seems to scare global economies is the fact that it is not possible for every economy to grow year on year forever… the resources simply dont exist… unless you move to a social economy!

I have heard from two close family members this wek that have been told that they will be out of a job within 90 days… we have to be creative and proactive in tackling the fallout of all of this new unemployment…
the unemployment figures are going to be the highest in decades very soon, and we have to think in new ways.. we need leadership and we need to think at a new level.

Do you have ideas on how to make the economy better? can you make changes that can help people get through tough times?
I listened to a family member talking about the poverty that they faced as young people growing up in Scotland just 40 years ago, where they could not afford shoes and had nothing to call their own… is this the near reality for many people in the western world?

Is it time to get the most enterprising people in the UK and United States and get the same skills and attitudes into our children at a young age, with the vision of creating new economies with added value and change activism?
