How ethical are General Motors's Labor Issues practices?

Title: Negotiating a cut in benefits to union workers.

Consumer Interest: Labor Issues (change)

"As a means to remedy a lackluster financial year, General Motors asked the United Auto Workers (UAW) to concede to cut benefits that cover 750,000 American workers. According to the Washington Post, the UAW has requested court approval for this pending agreement. The concessions are not expected to stop there, as competing automakers commonly ask for matched agreements with regard to union bargaining. GM expects to save $3 billion with the cuts."
