" ...the UAW isn't eager to help GM because its options for doing so are different versions of political suicide -- bad, worse and horrible. "

So it's better to just let the ship sink? The union can help secure a better future for GM and itself, with a short-term cost. Or they can continue to ride the gravy train to oblivion. Seems like an easy decision to me, but there's too much gluttony in the UAW's structure for the correct decision to be made. But since more is at stake than the union itself (considering all the non-union jobs and economics involved), that's why this decision cannot be made by the UAW -- GM must make it for them.
