	Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team It’s encouraging to read about NACCO’s hiring spree in the United States and its increases to shifts at a number of plants. One of the most dramatic responses to the global financial crisis was staff retrenchments and shift cuts as manufacturers around the world tried to rein in costs and also avoid inventory stockpiles as demand fell away. On the whole, the industry seems to have done a good job of avoiding over-supply and it’s clear that job losses were, in most cases, the last resort. Hopefully, the latest hiring effort in the US is an indicator that the tide has well and truly turned.   Local News FROM THE FORKLIFTACTION.COM EDITORIAL TEAM Deal clinched for sale of Brisbane port Australasia News Brisbane, Queensland The successful sale of the 99-year lease of the Port of Brisbane was announced this week, with the state to receive $2.1 billion for the lease.
