Yup, the UAW was the one who was telling GM to make the types of cars that people didn't want and that have caused GM's problems.

While I am all for union concessions, blaming the UAW exclusively for GM et al's problem's is beyond ludicrous.

 

Very true.  There are many at fault here.  UAW, the companies' management, Congress, incentives for Japanese and European carmakers to build plants here, some unfair trade deals (the current Korea deal with regard to cars comes to mind), all of these have had roles to play in making today's situation reality.  That's why it's so tough.  But really, if these companies had a good plan to return to profitability, don't you think someone would lend them $14 billion?
