Yeah, there were responsible parties opn BOTH sides of the bargaining table when some of these back-breaking benefits packages were agreed to. Unfortunately, these unsustainable fringe benefits that are killing the carmakers are no different than the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicad programs that will soon bring the whole country to its knees.

I doubt we'll learn anything from this, once the immediate pain passes, though.
