Going forward as a union leader, i would prefer to do large give backs rather than face the end game in US auto industry. There are no giveback, or you quickly become an ex-union leader. However, GM and the unions negotiated that new employees are hired at less outrageous rates. Meaning, no giveback by existing employees, only by not-yet-existing employees. Unfortunatelly for GM, it is too little and it came in too late. Not true. Their 2007 contract gave back quite a bit.
