For those that say GM lacks creativity and drive, could it be they are so bogged down in paying healthcare's rising costs that they have had to cut to a bare minimum R&D.
Now I will say this, I think they could pay less and have the employee pay more. I think that is only fair to ask when you know your company is hurting.
But if we went to a universal or at least subsidized based on sliding scale..... GM would have that health benefit money freed up to do R&D.
As for unions, I am pro-union, however I also believe that when you see your company in trouble and you are part of the bleeding..... then you need to cut back and say "let us work together to save the company" and make concessions.
But Management also has to make concessions.... how can you ask workers to take a paycut or less benefits when your multi-million dollar salary and your golden parachute is also draining the company??????????
The knife cuts both ways.
