Problem is, my recollection is that public opinion is overwhelmingly against the CAW. The politicians are going to be reluctant to step in.

Except Jack Layton.
Not going to happen, the government has to approve the concessions and the restructuring plan before they release any remaining funds and the Ont and feds have made it very clear that they require deep concessions.

They know that covering any part of the 19 dollars would be election suicide.
