UAW / GM Reach Deal
Deal helps GM narrow labor cost gap:
I'm not going to spend too much time reading about or writing about the strike, since it's not really a Lean issue.
From the Detroit News:
“But the new contract can only do so much. A better cost structure and reduced legacy costs won't cure all of Detroit's ills. Only better-quality cars and trucks that consumers yearn to buy will insure a brighter road ahead for GM, Ford and Chrysler.”
