GM's recovery is slow going. High gasoline prices, weak auto sales, layoffs, buyouts and a looming recession helped shrink sales 12% and led to a $39 billion loss.

Still, GM remains the world's largest automaker, though it very nearly lost its top position in global car sales - which it has held for 76 years - to Japanese rival Toyota.

A two-day nationwide autoworkers strike (the company's first since 1970) resulted in a cost-saving labor deal that could make the company more competitive with nonunion rivals. It also created a trust fund for retiree health benefits, the first of its kind for autoworkers.
