With that factored in the difference is $42 per hour for Toyota, and $62 per hour for GM. To me it is pretty clear how you fix that. You stop the pension plan and buy out the senior employees as you can. In fact 80zedder stated in another thread that some of the GM layoffs you read about in the news is GM doing just that. :flag2::flag2::flag2:
I would look for a neutral parties assessment before something from GM management. They are spin masters.
