I think they should file Chapter 11 and get rid of their incredible costs associated with retired workers. I thin that amounts to a $9 billion liability. The unions drove our auto industry into bankruptcy by always wanting more even when it made no economic sense for the companies to go along. I saw exactly the same thing with the steel mills and coal mines in Pennsylvania growing up. Guys would joke about the fact that they made $18/hour (this was in the 1970's) and only worked 1 hour in an 8-hour shift and slept the rest of the time.
