Mercedes-Benz said yesterday that it would cut 8,000 jobs this year, rather than the 14,000 that it announced in August. "The reason is that many more employees than expected have taken up the offer of early retirement in 1993," a company spokesman said. That allowed the company to cut 11,400 jobs last year, instead of 8,400 as planned. The auto maker also agreed last month with German unions to freeze layoffs in return for more flexibility on working hours.

CONDITIONAL APPROVAL WITHDRAWN FOR UTILITIES' MERGER

Bloomberg News
Saying statements made by the companies were inaccurate, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission yesterday withdrew its conditional approval of a $1.6 billion merger between the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company and PSI Resources Inc. The commission said its decision came after the two utilities reversed themselves on a key point. According to the commission, before it gave tentative approval in August, the companies said the regulatory commissions in the affected states -- Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio -- would have the right to rule on the proposal. Subsequently, however, the utilities informed the Federal commission that the proposal did not require approval from the states. The case will now move to a settlement judge, who will try to broker an agreement within 60 days.
