    More blathering from management inept GM. There's a simple way to satisfy the UAW. Simply retool the factories to build the identical model here. DUH. Thank you GM, I'll take my fee now for making that basic decision that routinely esapes you.

    But what's the deal with the Sierra Club support?

    I'm not so sure that the author has any idea what the Sierra Clubs stance is. In one paragraph, he totes the Sierra Club's campaigning to ban all SUV sales, and then states they're on the UAW's side in another? It's contradictory, and he never stated how or why the Sierra Club is supposedly in agreement with the UAW.
