Because the majority of the country doesn't like UAW -- in fact, they see them incorrectly as the sole reason GM failed in the first place, and such a bold move would be seen as such dirty politicking that a re-election campaign would be worthless. The 'other' guy would have too much ammo.
Incorrectly?! Are you kidding me?! Not the SOLE reason, but they had a huge part in it. Take, taking and taking GM for a ride, forcing their hand and paying benefits to families long after the original employee is deceased. Millions upon millions being wasted and did you honestly think the UAW was going to make proper concessions for GM? You are completely wrong! They saw GM had an open wound that was gushing money and refused to help stitch it up. Well, thankfully the handouts are over. That's all I can say.
