Basically GM's problem right now is that it will be about two more years before the renegotiated union contract kicks in - along with the Billions of savings that it will provide. Because the US economy has gotten so bad, so fast it was looking like GM wouldn't make it until then. GM had to raise more money/cut spending to make sure the business survives until then.
