I thought that the UAW's had already made a ton of concessions in order for this bailout to proceed.

I seem to recall that they took a sharp reduction in pay. Stopped paying laid off workers, and reduced the required benefits.

Not that I'm union, but I think that there needs to be a better solution then just looking at wage and salaries. There's an efficiency problem in the automakers world, and there are some huge fundemental spending and process flaws that need to be addressed on an equal number to the poor dumb s on the line.
