get out from under their crushing insurance and pension costs that the unions have trapped them in?

Contract provisions may be just as onerous:
I remember when the Van Nuys plant (Camaro) closed

Are you kidding me!?? What business can afford to pay that? The UAW workers deserve to be out of jobs if they pull stunts like that.
