GM CEO Fritz Henderson was on Glenn Beck’s show yesterday and fielded questions about the government’s involvement in GM after the bailout, stating that they appreciate the support and the government has not meddled in their business. Beck also didn’t expect Henderson to defend the United Auto Workers (UAW).

When Beck claimed that the unions are “strangling” GM, Henderson shot him down:

“They’ve been more part of the solution than the problem… yes, we have significant legacy costs that we’re trying to address. Frankly, they’re trying to help us address those issues at the same time… I view the unions are more part of the solution than the problem. Me personally.”

All Beck could say in response was, “Wow, OK.”
