The resolution is very simple: stop structuring contracts to manufacture total vehicles.
A UAW contract is established according to production costs. If the contract is assumed to manufacture a certain amount of vehicles such that the employees are productive over that amount, then they get the contract value.
GM, as the payor of that contract is now saddled with any excessive of vehicles and must “eat” that same.
In a home environment: if a I make 15 loaves of bread because my children indicated that they cannot exist at their school with any less, what do I do with the 5 loaves left over at the end of the school year?
GM must restructure and the UAW must agree to the terms. I won’t significantly miss GM...
if you will look at federal, state, and local governments across the nation you will see that most all of them have replaced all or just bought new additional vehicles in the last 3 or 4 years...when everyone or most all of them are in deficit spending situations...amounting to make work...from GM or Chrysler just to keep the unions afloat - all just moving the pea around - mostly law enforcement crap vehicles to police us down when the time is right!
