Things have to change with BOTH the manufacturers and the unions before any real progress will happen.
In the free-market solution, I would let Detroit fail completely, which would destroy both the makers AND the unions, and then within bankruptcy and other protection negotiate new contracts and plans to rebuild.
In the government solution, I would pass legislation both to put General Motors and Ford under direct government control temporarily AND to void all union contracts, and then force renegotiation.
Either way, something involving both sides has to happen.
