Was once the
world's largest coporation but has been surpassed by Toyota. It has been the victim of stupid labor unions like the UAW that always threaten to strike if they
don't get higher pay (
even though the
average starting salary for a worker just out of high
school with no skills is about $25 an hour), healthcare benefits (which they DO get), retirement benefits (which they also get) and 401K. The union has destroyed this once great corporation. GM has been responsible for many job losses in the auto industry, not just in Michigan, but all across the U.S.A.
Don't blame the company. Blame the UAW Union. They demand unfair promises from the company that cannot be kept, therefore forcing the company and the auto industry to outsource jobs to Mexico. GM is not so great anymore, thanks to the antiquated and worthless UAW.
