I think many of the things are unnecessary to the situation, and I think that GM is taking advantage of the situation to set us back 50 years. I will post things slowly as I have time, and individually so that comments can be made. Remember, this is NOT official at this point. I will note any changes I find out about, and when it becomes official note that also! Tentative agreement?
