Based on the headlines I read following GM's announcements of the firings it appears the media views the action as a victory.

I haven't followed the situation closely enough to from an educated opinion on whether the firings were appropriate but part of me suspects GM needed some scapegoats to make this issue go away.

Back to my original thought, I'm betting GM has reached a monetary agreement with the 15 individuals who were fired to ensure they'll never be able to testify against GM in future lawsuits.
