To answer the title of the thread, yes they are partly to blame. Management and government also have a hand in the problems.

But getting back to the specifics, when looking at pay and benefits the UAW workers are getting roughly equal compensation to their non-union counterparts. They still cost the equivalent of ~$20/hr more because of the retirees.
