Obviously Mr. Hardy is not a GMI reader, or he would already know that all three parties (workers, union leadership, management) share the blame for the current woes.

Come on. If people are not buying pick-up trucks, GM is not going to build them. If GM is not building them, it is going to lay off employees. Period. There is nothing workers, union leadership or management can do about it.

If gasoline cost $2.00 a gallon, there would be demand for trucks, and GM would be hiring people, and we all would be waxing about how the UAW and GM leadership were the greatest.

i completely agree with that however what has been hurting gm the most is the union, and the amount of pension that is given to the retired employees, gm has been lossing alot of money because of that actually.

Funny... the unions were not hurting GM in the 1950s. Then again, GM was not competing against Japanese cars made from Chinese steel, and the unions were not competing against Mexican labor. But I am sure that is all a coincidence. Just cut the wages of American workers, and everything will be fine.
