He was a tough critic of the company when he covered its stock for Morgan Stanley. Girsky also worked at the company as an advisor to former CEO Rick Wagoner, too. Don't look for him to press CEO Fritz Henderson to give the UAW a contract that would erase some of the concessions that were made prior to bankruptcy."<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/19/uaw-adds-its-voice-to-new-general-motors-board-of-directors/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>UAW adds its voice to new General Motors board of directors</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/19/uaw-adds-its-voice-to-new-general-motors-board-of-directors/">UAW adds its voice to new General Motors board of directors</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:40:00 EST.
