Actually, 19k workers just took a buyout option. GM says that some workers will be able to take jobs left behind by those workers.

I saw that word in a few articles. If this particular union wasn't so one-sided and was willing to see the business end of things, I would be less critical. This is the third issue I've had with the UAW in as many months. From what I've seen, the UAW would eagerly run GM out of business if it got them a few bigger paychecks then complain that GM declared bankruptcy. They're acting like a bunch of emo kids who cut themselves no matter how good life is. It's not as though Nissan or Mitsubishi is going to offer them what GM has given them. They're lucky GM is willing to put up with their complaints anymore instead of just building all their components in a third world country.
