I saw the same with steel mills in the 80's. US Steel was on its rear end and could not compete with steel from Japan. USX asked the union to work together and have concessions with the promise to moderize mills but some jobs would be lost. The answer was no. So USX started to close one mill after the other as the union jobs kept disaapearing. They invested elsewhere with new mondern mini mills. Finally the union came around before more mills got closed and were able to work out a deal. USX got stronger and grew jobs because of it.

But auto unions have still not learned that if a company can not compete, they eventually lose more jobs than giving some concessions and getting strong and over time grow jobs.
