If you were honest, then your post would have addressed GM's only problem - Rick Wagoner and his executives. Unions were never compensated equally. Management was always reaping bonuses and salary increases even when the company was losing money. You conveniently forgot to mention that part while taking a cheap shot at employees.

Employees have taken repeated concessions. GM management has taken none. Meanwhile, only GM management is why GM cars need V-8 engines. GM managment is why GM SUVs feature 1968 technology. Unions did create those high costs. A GM car has so many more parts as to cost more than a compartively equipped Mercedes. When the LA Times noted that problem, GM management took revenge on the LA Times rather than addres their only problem. A problem only made worse by those who would blame the unions - and not Rick Wagoner.

If lookout123 was honest, he would have identified their #1 problem. GM sucks only because bean counters run the company and design the products. But that means lookout123 would have to admit his peers are GM's problem.
