You can't have this discussion without political opinions. In light of this, I recommend killing this issue.
Since that may not happen, I'll provide some political analysis of the situation. The UAW is protecting its own. It is banking on GM and Chrysler survival. Without them, they do not exist. Without them, Obama's early presidency is in shambles. They have to survive, so the UAW is making demands.
Obama has to save GM. In order to maintain the support of the left wing of the Democrats as well as the representatives who are so eager to vote with him, Obama has to stick to his running agenda, which includes green vehicles, a surviving domestic auto market, and a lot of government spending. You don't have to like any of this, but this is what the federal government is working to have happen. If this all sorts out, then we will have electric Corvettes crushing Tesla Roadsters in 10 years or less, which would be kind of cool.
It's worth pointing out that Fox is the least credible of any of the major news sources, followed closely by CNN.
