I think a huge part of the problem is healthcare - specifically for their retirees. How many people get benefits from the big three after they've retired? USPS has the same problem. The US military would have it too if it wasn't for the VA.
A big part of the problem is Unions. If there's an industry or a company that's about to go under look around to see if there are Unions involved if there are thats about 95% of the problem.
