WSJ: Janesville GM to accelerate closing plans

Click on the post for the article in the Wisconsin State Journal.

It appears that a key area of cutting will be the retired health benefits of salaried employees. GM chairman called this a strategy to "win" and not merely survive.

It would be interesting to compare and contrast the outcomes of GM going into bankruptcy and the current process----at least in a bankruptcy procedure the executive bonus arrangements and stock options would be considered along side with retiree health benefits---I would surmise this is why GM dreads speaking of a bankruptcy procedure. Maybe someone out there, a bankruptcy specialist, would weigh in on that question.

Stay tuned.
