I have friends that work in GM plants and I hear them telling how they are cutting jobs lower wages, but most of all they admit that GM is building inferior cars and trucks and their are only a few products they make that actually sell well. Most are taking early retirement so they can get out while they still can get something from GM. It doesn't look good for awhile at GM.
My aunt works for GM in Fort Wayne, IN. A few years back when we visited her I toured the GM plant in Fort Wayne.
We talked to one of the engineers about the future and Toyota and his exact comment was, "the new Silverado is going to be awesome, but in my opinion its going to be too little, too late." He also went on to say, "I believe that very soon Toyota will own us." I think by that he meant that they wont be able to compete with Toyota, not that Toyota will literally buy GM.
I know for a fact that the people who get hired in at GM now will never make the same kind of money that the people who worked for GM in the past did.

Linky no worky. GM should fire your friends then. Oh wait, they cant. They make $32 an hour to sweep a floor, while toyota skates by again without unions to ruin them. Its an unfair advantage.
If youd do your research you would find that people who work for Toyota enjoy almost the same pay and benefits that people who work for GM enjoy. Toyota doesnt need a union to pressure them in order for them to treat their workers right.
Does GM have daycare facilities in their factories? Toyota does.

I've read your post at least a dozen times and I can't figure out your point.
He has no point. He purpose for being here is to bash Toyota while trying to throw GM a pity party.
