Seeing as their owned in large part by the UAW I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen.
Indeed. GM & Chrysler aren’t car companies any more, they are government-owned and managed UAW employment agencies that produce vehicles as a byproduct - their business is keeping UAW members employed. Go Ford!
Well, what the union doesn't own the government does, and we all know that government does not shed employees. They may "discontinue" a department or program with a wink and move the employees elsewhere, but they never simply reduce employees.
