That's bullshit.
That shows you don't know what you're talking about. This is from 2005. With rising health care costs and pension costs, guess what it is now.

"The company says that the cost of every new car includes $1,500 for employee and retiree health care costs; no mention of the cost per vehicle for pensions. Look to GM to be the next company to abdicate its pension plan to the feds."
Kathy Gill is taking GM's word for it without any research. In fact one of the support articles link to the Detroit Free Press and the link no longer works. It takes no talent to cut and paste or copy a link which is all she appears to have done. I just completed some research on Kathy Gill, she teaches a course at the UW on digital journalism, however, as she does nothing to substantiate her post to about.com, I would certainly hesitate to take her course. Let's hope she's better prepped as she also teaches people to ride cycles.
Do you have any studies?
The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
