The many industries and markets involved with supply chains and logistics have been discussing the effects, if any, President-elect Donald Trump will have on regulations and trade deals. Your favorite logistics blogs will have many think pieces in the coming weeks. Here are a few (non-partisan!) links for your reading enjoyment:<\/p>\n

I.\u00a0<\/strong> Supply Chain Management Review<\/a> has an excellent blog post about learning from the mistakes recently seen from several high-profile companies. Going through a supply chain recall can be BRUTAL, any everyone can learn from each other within the industry. SCMR’s Michael Gravier has some outstanding and practical advice gleaned from the likes of recent incidents with Samsung and Volkswagen.<\/p>\n

II.<\/strong> Cuts are coming at GM. General Motors plans to lay off 2,000 employees at two U.S. auto plants in early 2017, the automaker said on Wednesday. Fortune<\/a> says, \u201cthe furlough is a response to what the company believes will be a continued shift from cars to crossovers and trucks.\u201d On the flip side of this announcement, GM says it will be investing over $900 million in future products.<\/p>\n

III.<\/strong> Chris Spear, the newly-installed president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations<\/a>, shares how much the trucking industry appreciates veterans. Spear says, \u201cIn our armed forces, our service men and women routinely display character, commitment and other qualities our members tell us they look for when they are hiring drivers, technicians and other staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

IV.<\/strong> U.S. railroads will have to comply with new mandatory drug and alcohol testing rules next year. According to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, \u201cThe rule brings maintenance-of-way workers\u2014the crews who maintain and repair the rails, stone ballast and machinery of freight and passenger railroads\u2014under the same federal drug-testing regimen that applies to other critical workers such as train engineers, conductors and dispatchers.\u201d<\/p>\n
