Traditionally the UAW has tried to find the balance of putting GM over the edge and being just equitable enough to justify the union's existence. My opinion is they pushed GM too hard, too far, for too long. And now they won't budge on principle alone. Doesn't make sense to me.

Exactly. And the best part is that they are putting themselves out of work and they still don't budge. It's like letting your food spoil because you don't want to admit you need a refridgerator. And in the end, they will complain that their food spoiled and now they are starving. Stupid.
