General Motors avails of the services of salaried as well as contractual Union employees to manage their operations. It has labor union associations with the United Auto Workers and Communication Workers of America. Of late, productivity is on a slump, bringing their cash flow to a negative amount running into billions. They have hence had to consider steps like long term idling or even closure of some of their plants to cut capacity and thereby minimize further losses. They have also been in the news recently for the legal appeal to alter the health care benefits it offers its employees.
