Here is a solution for GM that will work.

Each and every employee of GM is to buy stock in the company. Proceeds
will be used to fund GM financial needs.

Employees must own shares to work at GM. The amount is determined by
their compensation. They must own at least 20% of their annual
compensation in common shares of GM. If you are new, you must buy 5% of
your anticipate income immediately or you cannot be hired.

Managers need to own at least 25% minimum.

Executives must own the equivalent of last years total compensation or
more. This also applies to board members. Board members and executive
not owning at least 50% today are to be discharged unless they correct
the issue in 20 days or less.

Shares already owned count so you don't have to buy more if you already
have them. You may own them any way you wish, but must control the
percentage of shares required.

If you don't have them then 15% of your wage/salary goes towards share
purchases until topped up to the minimum for your job and pay scale. If
you are an executive or manager, that amount increases to 25%. Shares
will be accumulated at the months lowest daily average minus 5%. You are
not allowed to sell shares below your percentage or those not vested for
3 years.

Shares will be initially issued by GM, later if solvent they will be
purchased off the market but for now new issues to raise cash. The cash
will be used to finance the company. No need to rip or beg from
taxpayers like beggars and thieves. Plus, you get to own the company and
vote for your choice of the CEO!

Solves a lot of problems for everyone.

CAW/UAW, put your money where your mouth is!

The company, board of directors, will still be able to vote down any
proposal by the employees due to the BOD voting the company owned shares.

Hey, if the union had a spine they have management by the curlies.
Seriously. If they are selling 3% of Suzuki for 3 days of operating cash
flow I would say they are about as open as they will get.

Call up the board of directors, come with a decent in the guts and super
serious plan sparing nothing. Don't waste their time with meatball
politics. They will look at page one and if they don't see a huge turn
around they will not get to page 2. Hint, $2/hr isn't going to cut it.

Oh I know the union line, no my job. Guess what, it is very much your job
to assure who you work for is financially healthy. Either that or pass the
job to someone who cares.
