The problem that the UAW faces is a matter of internal politics. Their leadership, just like our government, is largely elected. So you have to put yourself in teh position of the main line worker with in the union, are you gonna vote for the guy who is telling you to cut back, expect less for the next few years, and benefit in the long run, or the guy who is going to act more like Scott Boris and go after every company they can for every penny they can get?

It would benefit the primary, labor level, UAW member to think more long term, but just like the rest of the population in America, they are brainwashed into the what can you do for me now, give me more, immediate satisfaction mentality that has pushed the costs of labor in every industry in the country.
