GM and Ford are the last of a dying breed. Companies that provide a retirement plan are old-fashioned.
The union mandated wages, benefits and pensions that they pay are simply obscene. Nothing against a guy making a decent wage, but when assembly line workers are making $30 or $40 an hour, with full benefits and a pension when they retire, there's something wrong. Many white collar workers with advanced degrees would kill for the wages and benefits that Ford and GM pay. Some may call that admirable, but when the company is failing I call it stupid. What they get is far beyond good pay.
