Kind of makes u wonder if the big 3 will hold out to end the union….? Is that something that can be done?I think this is the beginning of the end of the strike. The Arlington plant is meant to hurt GM. It is now who can wait the longest.
I would think the UAW will have their best offer this week or already have it. Strikes are about leverage and who can take the most pain. I believe the leverage has shifted to the Big 3. I also think that UPS contract was an outlier not the new labor normal. I believe that the UAW anticipated a fairly quick resolution and that has now passed.
I think the Big 3 could easily hold on til early next year. Not sure about these striking workers. I have also heard rumblings that the "strike fund" has been grossly exaggerated. Will be an interesting next few weeks.
Could be a painful year end/ Holiday season for many workers and I do not see any joy in that.
