What I don’t see in GM’s proposal is a plan to help the 2000 dealerships and their employees they want to close deal with such a drastic solution. It seems to me that scaling down could be accomplished by reducing the demands on the dealerships to load up on inventory, by allowing the dealerships the flexibility of job sharing for employees willing to try it, and by even taking back some inventory. And I have heard nothing about plant conversions or the idea of letting the workers actually buy into the plants so as to become more invested in the whole process.
