    Wait a sec...i thought sense Gm went bankrupt that severed all contracts with the union?

    I could have swore i heard that a few months ago on CNN that when they did go bankrupt that it would do that. If not then eh..my bad.

    Legally GM can void any and all contracts with its bankruptcy, just like Chrysler could. Look where Chrysler is now though. Obama stepped in and forced a deal that gave the UAW a senior stake in the company even though they were a minority bond holder. The majority bond holders were screwed and given $.30 on the dollar of their investment in return.

    The UAW is a VERY strong union and they have massive political backing in Michigan and Washington D.C. Until that political backing dries up, the Big 3 have no chance of dumping the unions, thereby no chance at becoming profitable when competing with the imports that do not have to pay for the unions.
