The big three made nearly imbecilic agreements with the UAW. When you're overpaying for labor, putting out a product people don't want, and a product that's not better than the competition, how can a company succeed?
The UAW though is in a good spot at the moment, let's face it for the next 4 years you'll have a very pro-union President and Congress in place. The UAW doesn't need to make concessions because they're probably pretty confident that the government will bail out the auto industry no matter how badly they fuck it up. Once the Employee Free Choice Act is in place you'll see the unions getting considerably stronger.
