The unions have a right to demand what they want, and the big three have a right to refuse those demands and find new workers. There should be no government involvement in these sort of negotiations.

But I agree that these companies have to show some sort of business plan of how they intend to make a profit if they are bailed out. As we see from Citibank, tens of billions in handouts has now resulted in 50,000 layoffs. I noticed that the CEOs of the automakers talked about how many jobs would be lost if they went belly up. But nobody asked the question of how many jobs would be lost if they were bailed out.
