"UAW concessions" you'll see that the UAW has been giving
back to the Big Three for years. From a column by George
Will in 2005:

" Concessions by the United Auto Workers will provide GM
with annual savings of $1 billion in cash in health care
costs...The UAW's willingness to make concessions
regarding a contract that does not expire until 2007 recalls
what the UAW did in the recession of 1982. Then Chrysler
was in parlous condition, and the UAW reopened a contract
in order to give back benefits. But today's givebacks are
occurring while a humming economy in the fourth year of
expansion has lowered unemployment to 5.1 percent."
