The UAW walked out because the wanted a guarantee that G.M. wouldn't outsource car production. Essentially they wanted GM to promise them job security... that's why they walked out.
I don't know of ANYONE who has a guarantee that their company won't outsource their job... its how business works these days (for better or for worse). I think it will be a tough thing to negotiate, so I'm not holding my breath until the UAW comes back to the table... it could be a while.
