GM's stock has gone from $64 when Rick Wagoner took over to less than $3 today. GM is made up of over 90% of men in middle to upper management positions despite over 65% of women as the primary purchaser of new cars. Also, GM has a history of sex discrimination and harrassment. Some examples include the Mexican plant where women had to be inspected to see if they were menstrating in order to work at the plant and a Northeast American plant where black women were harrased by men wearing black stockings over their privates to note that the black women had black private hair. GM is sick.
