I knew people who worked at GM.... their reasoning for not being able to afford raises during that contract negotiation was that they couldn't compete with European automakers who had the benefit of government health insurance. Did GM push for government health insurance 6 years ago when they had the chance to speak up???? I never heard a peep out of them, I don't believe anyone else did either. GM is yet again just looking for a bogeyman in order to prop up profits for the already rich owners.
