The union could leave tomorrow and nothing would change except of course we will all pay for the GM retirements.

If the union left and the PBGC took over the pensions, maybe some of the employees could keep their jobs.

If GM defaults, the taxpayers take over.

It would be a cheaper (and more permanent) solution if the union went away.

The unions are broken in GM. They have no power. This has nothing to do with unions.
