Scenes from the recession (contd)

There's anger when jobs are lost:

"WAYLAND, Mich. (AP) — Police say they responded to reports of two fights at a southwest Michigan auto dealership on the day employees were told the business was closing amid the slumping economy. WWMT-TV captured one of the fights on video Friday that shows a scuffle, with one man knocking another to the ground outside Wayland Chevrolet....Wayland Chevrolet blames the shutdown on the downturn in the auto industry and the scheduled closing of General Motors Corp.'s metal stamping factory this year in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming.
The dealership employed about 30 people."
