Here is a reason why the UAW might not be so willing to cut their members pay. I work for the Post Office. During the past years the PO has said how they are losing money. During contract negotiations it really was ramped up. Oh how much longer can we go on while losing money.... We agreed to roughly 1.9% raise for each year for the next five years. No big deal. Less than $10 a paycheck. After the contract negotiations were finished...wham Post Master General Potter (top dog of the PO) agrees to give himself, his VP's, ALL area and district managers a whopping 39% retroactive raise. WTF that puts them at over a $1000 dollars more per pay check. Now they are telling us that we need to do more to save the PO from falling apart. I said I'll gladly give my raise back if The Post Master General and his buds give theirs back first.
