Killing the goose who lays the golden eggs

It is sad the US automobile industry has reached this point. For too long management has not been able to freely make decisions about production methods, staffing and plant operations. This has lead to a slow loss of market share, quality advantage and margins. Unfortunately, GM will not be healthy until the stakes and influences of the current stakeholders who brought us here are removed from company decisions moving forward. The productivity of the American worker is still number one in the world. Our highly skilled and imaginative workers, if given the opportunity, will once again raise General Motors to be the envy of the world.
