It all looks good in a ratification update but isn't worth the paper or ink used to print it..
With the US economy imploding and no action by governments to stem the tide of one way free trade, I am afraid things will get worse before they get better.. With lower projected sales it is hard to believe that GM is making these pledges in good faith.. It's nothing more than window dressing to "sell" the deal to members.. Something like $100 a barrell oil can shutter a few truc/suv plants over night.. Come on Guys GM's still has 2 wheels in the ditch ... If the economy and things down't turn around and quick ... None of these promisies will mean a thing!!!!

So either way you are out of a job if you work in a plant.
You have two choices. Give some stuff up and hope that GM turns it around. Or don't and watch as it burns down.
If I was in that position, I'd be looking at whatever helps me in the long run and if that means taking a cut now to protect my pension then I'd do it.
Of course many people aren't long term thinkers so that may be hard for them to grasp.
