GM drives out of bankruptcy Unscathed

GM Comes out of bankruptcy , giving hopes of better American recovery.A new General Motors (GM) emerged from bankruptcy protection on Friday, far more quickly than most industry watchers had expected, as a leaner automaker aiming to win back American consumers and pay back taxpayers.

The closing documents were signed early Friday by representatives of the government and GM executives at the law firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, GM’s bankruptcy counsel.

Analysts said the government intervention had given GM a new chance and sharply lower operating costs but left management facing deep challenges given the weak economy and GM’s long-running slide in market share. “I wouldn’t really call it a new GM, it is just a smaller GM. That would be more of an apt description.

GM is cutting its white-collar work force by more than 20% by eliminating 6,000 jobs by October. The reduction in executive ranks will slice deeper, with 35% planned. That bid to shake up GM’s long-criticised corporate culture will be a key issue for Henderson as the 100-year-old automaker seeks to relaunch itself.
