GM’s move came after American taxpayers rescued it from bankruptcy with a $49.5bn federal bailout in 2009

No. The federal payola rescued the UAW from the consequences of bankruptcy. Union pensions were made whole. The union health plan was made whole. GM, however, was not "rescued from bankruptcy;" it went bankrupt. The shareholders lost everything. The suppliers and dealers were whacked. Management was purged. Everyone involved with GM took severe losses -- except the UAW. The parasite killed the host, and the government saved the parasite.
