Reference global employment:
Toyota 299k
GM 255k

American jobs:
Toyota 36k
GM 110k

US employment by percentage of total global workforce:
Toyota 12%
GM 43%

Reviewing employment number of past years it's astounding to see how many employees have been cut over the past 10 years. So to say GM hasn't made and UAW hasn't made concessions is ludicrous.

1979 - GM's U.S. employment peaks at 618,365, making it the largest private employer in the country. Worldwide employment is 853,000.

It's a disgrace to see how many jobs have been eliminated or moved to other countries in the automotive sector alone.
