    The UAW was willing to make concessions, the Repubs weren't willing to compromise on anything. The UAW was willing to drop their salaries to those of non-union auto workers, but they wanted to do it a little more gradually than the repubs wanted so the repubs said, as they always do, "My way or the highway" and "I got mine, lets watch the world burn".

    Just the union employees. Not management, not suppliers, not dealers.

    @odograph

    You might want to check what the unions were willing to give up before you run your mouth. They gave the republicans what they wanted, but wanted to do it a little more gradually.
