I'm not blaming any union. We wont find the answers to all of GM or Fords problems here. Its not that easy. If it were, they would have been fixed a long time ago. There is no single answer for fixing things like this.

How many employees do GM and Ford employee globally? Several hundred thousand each at a minimum. A company that big cant exist without a high level of bureaucracy and inefficiency. Lean or progressive management styles are not an option and change is always slow.

Don't forget that companies like this sell more than just cars and function on a global scale. I know things look bad for them in the US as a car company these days, but they are making money somewhere. If they were losing money in every country or logical division of the company they would have closed the doors. Where are they making money? I bet their finance divisions are making a ton of money.
