Hey GM, take notes

Maybe I'm a little biased because I've always been a 'ford guy' but stories like this make me happy:

It seems as though the company that invented the automobile is leading once again. To be able to reach concessions with a union in middle of a recession seems incredible to me. Wages are only $7 per hour higher than our foreign competition. Hopefully that will keep some more jobs right here. Ford is also consolidating plants and converting one to focus more on smaller, more efficient cars.

So far I think this company is doing the right things. I hope they emerge from this mess stronger than ever to bring a little more pride back to 'Made in the USA'.
