Now let's go a step further. Let's research the facts about this strike. We leave the rhetoric out, whose overpaid, whose lazy, and so on, and just research what is really going on. Things to look for.

1. Why was the strike called?

2. What is the sticking point?

3. Who is holding things up?

Let's look at it from both sides with open minds and then compare notes. I will be honest with you, when I first read about the strike I probably reacted much like you did with disbelief and disgust. I just love a good debate where all the facts are laid out.

With regards to 1 & 2......my best guess would be because GM didn't hammer out a new local agreement with that specific plant......

As to to 3, it's anyone's guess. Probably GM....since they have to take the initiative with this....
