The contributing, and uncompetitive costs are legacy costs (healthcare/retirement) that the foriegn companies just don't have to deal with because they haven't employed enough people here for long enough. (GM's been around for 100 years, employing MILLIONS of laborers over the years)

On top of all this, worker pay is less than ten percent of a vehicle's total price. GM has made significant strides elsewhere, this is far from a final nail.

Lighten up!
I agree with this!
