Part of business in this day-and-age. GM has lost market share, and will never gain back what they had. Therefore, they need to shut down plants, and reduce the work force.
I will say it is not totally the unions fault, but I will say they have to take some credit for the fall of GM.
GM needs to design more attractive cars, and they are doing a good job of that. They need to build quality cars, and they are definitely doing that. But the unions have to wake up and see that there is over production at GM and they have to get those plants closed.
What always amazed me was if you drive into the Spring Hill Manufacturing facility it Spring Hill TN, and went to the plant parking lot, I would bet 30 percent of the cars were Toyotas, Hondas, BMWs, Lexus, etc. These are union people.
I found over my years down there that it appeared that a higher percentage of salary employees were likely to purchase a GM vehicle new, versus union workers who seemed to purchase a lot of competitors vehicles.
To be honest, I have owned Jeeps, but in my defense, every Jeep Wrangler I owned, I purchased used from a GM or Saturn Dealers. And, Jeeps are made by the union workers in Toledo; whereas, the Hondas, Toyotas, etc., that were made in the USA, were most likely made in a non-union shop.
