Over the past 40 years they have missed every major consumer trend to the point of fighting things like increasing MPG saying it would lose jobs. Well they were right but just got it backwards! Not paying attention to improving MPG did in fact lose them jobs and market share. It was the same for seat belts and other safty equipment, emisions and the like. They fought everyone of these itms tooth and nail...and time has shown they were on the wrong side of those issues too. Toyota had the same requirements and they seemd to not only get by but capitalize on them and gain market share. Ford seems to be going strong and they have the same type labor issues and regulations as GM. Management Incompetence is the problem not labor.
