The UAW has added no value in the last twenty years and has single handed brought the company to its knees thru it unwillingness to share in the bad times. When things are good they want it all but when things decline, they stand on the necks of good companies and make unreasonable demands. If not for the unions, we would be able to buy a car at a reasonable price and not have to worry about quality. Dont get me wrong, I drive all Chevys and am a GM loyalist but this is ridiculous that the UAW is willing to make NO concessions to assist in cost cutting measures.

Years ago up here in Framingham Mass, GM built a $3m paint plant added on to their existing facility where they built Buicks. The union took strike after GM tried to hire more people to reduce overtime and GM told them they would close the plant if they did not give a bit, and no one ever thought they would having just built the new paint plant. Guess what happened, GM padlocked it, called their bluff and put thousands out of work, people that were getting $30hr to turn 6 door bolts had to get regular paying jobs like you and me and found out the hard way that the union screwed them all in the end.

Sorry for the rant, most of the GM mess was probably avoidable.
