Interesting.
You do realise Mercedes make more cars outside of Germany than within? BMWs are generally made in either China or South Africa?
GM and Ford are struggling and have struggled for a long time - GM went through Chapter 11 in 2009 to replace employee agreements with significantly less beneficial ones as well as a whole raft of debt.
Microsoft and Apple have both been to the brink and have radically restructured themselves in order to stop going broke.
Your list ultimately argues for Joyce and Co to go much much HARDER attacking working conditions than they currently are.
