Thursday, June 5 (tomorrow morning, or this morning, if you’re reading this when you wake up) is shaping to be a day of major importance, as none other than General Motors CEO Mary Barra will be addressing media and employees alike at the company’s Warren Technical Center beginning at 9 AM eastern time. It concerns the latest in the ignition switch recall scandal.
It’s described as a “Global Town Hall Meeting,” and will be fed via closed circuit television, and there will be a live stream in the morning, the link of which will be provided when available. For now, this is all we know. Stay tuned for more as there definitely will be.

she sounds mad
Actually more sad.
Actually to me she should like someone who had to give the toughest speech in her life.
Mary has done as well as anyone could expect under the circumstances here. I wanted Mark and did not think she was ready for the job but she has proved to be just what GM needed in this time. She is one tough individual.
Imagine if someone like Roger Smith had been in charge at this time and how things would not have been handled as they should have been. That could have finished GM.
By hitting this head on she has done what was needed.
Again for those who do not want to believe how incompetent GM was in this era they need to read the Lutz book to see just how messed up things were back then. They really could not get it together to make a profit let alone together to deal with a messed part.
Most large companies had a level of dysfunction and poor communication but here it was at a all time high.
I had been told it was bad but the more I have found it was a real mess.
Like I said just read about the Apex group at GM and you will wonder if they were passing out acid.
The bottom line the only place that functioned any worse than GM in this era is Washington today.
