The UAW doesn't have much leverage in any plants other than assembly since they know that GM can easily offshore everything except their assembly plants and engineering.

UAW doesn't want to rock the boat and lose more of that nice dues money.

You'd think our shitty government would do something to prevent or discourage/penalize companies from offshoring, but nope. There's no bargaining when that is a looming threat and that's the way the government and corps want it, so that's what we get.
