Yesterday I had report this - that the local GM plant in DE was going to have 'GM-only' parking with people driving other cars forced to park at a far section of the parking lot. Guess that policy lasted a day...

Just a day after announcing a policy that would punish workers and visitors at General Motors' Boxwood Road assembly plant for not driving GM vehicles, executives backed away from the plan.
Plant managers Thursday suspended a new policy that would have given preferential parking to people driving GM vehicles starting July 10. Drivers of other makes would have been required to park in the West Lot, farthest away from the main entrance, under the announcement Wednesday.
But on Thursday, workers received a memo from Dennis Dougherty, the plant manager, notifying them the parking policy was "put on hold." In the memo, Dougherty said there was a request to "review the policy for completeness and correctness."
Alice Petitt, spokeswoman for the plant near Newport, would say only that the policy was being reviewed, and denied that complaints from workers triggered the review.
David J. Myers, president of the United Auto Workers Union Local 435, did not return calls. But some workers at the plant said the parking policy was controversial.
