The reason I bring this up is this. It is my opinion that the UAW is calling the shots here. They are the reason why the big-2.5 Execs are so opposed to bankruptcy and restructuring because if that happens the contracts will also be restructured which spells disaster for the UAW.
But disaster for the UAW will ultimately help the industry build itself back up. The union is the biggest obstacle in competing with the import companies. I would think the "Execs" would be for that scenario. I haven't heard any representative from the UAW chime in on the subject yet...........
