Cowger, 57, who had the title of president of General Motors North America, is to focus on global manufacturing and labor.“Given the challenges we face in North America, it makes sense for me to assume control of General Motors North America’s day-to-day operations and shorten the lines of communication and decision-making,” Wagoner said in a statement.In his statement, Wagoner said Lutz had asked to devote all his efforts on product development. “I’ll continue to value his business advice and support, but Bob’s legacy at GM will be in our future cars and trucks,” Wagoner said.Cowger, Wagoner noted, will be changed with dealing with labor unions to try and find ways to cut costs, particularly in health care.Link to full article --> http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId ...
