Shoot, with the democrats in charge the union would OWN GM (figuratively).

It always has been and will remain to be a very long shot for GM to make it out of chapter 11. Noone will buy cars from them. They'll need tons of $$$$$ from somewhere to make it through that scenario. And they surely aren't getting private funding for that.
Funny I have a friend from Great Britten and about 5 years ago we talked about the Union possible being the end of GM, because the Unions I guess doomed the GB auto industry from what he told me. I hope the UAW gets smart.
