How many gm employees know the names of the board of directors at GM.

some of the directors are retired ceo's from other corporations that
screwed up the companies they were  in charge off.

they collect top dollars from GM for sitting on their ass's .

who let these looser's on the board of GM,

was it the UAW,  or did the UAW not check them out.?

I doubt if UAW has much to say about who sits on the board
at General Motors.

Well, management nominates the directors and the shareholders in theory
vote on them.  The union has no say in the matter.  Germany has a
different system, but in the US the union has no power over the board.

Big business always was and always will be a good 'ol boy
buddy buddy system.  Every company manager is aware of that.

It is interesting to note that GM is no longer the biggest car company
in the world measured in market value

It would be interesting what the board thinks - do they really care?

Yes.  And like the Clinton Admin.  And every tribe, clan, and caste
since bacteria.

Would that be like: A hooker is looser than a nun?  OR My wheels are
looser than yours.

Someone helping the company loose money
Someone helping the company loose market share
Someone helping the company loose image
Someone helping the company loose styling
Someone helping the company loose control

A bunch of loosers leads the company towards bankruptcy

That too - they lost their point

There is no point in having them as directors
