If it was a compilation of minor issues than the union really screwed up trying to bluff GM, they should know by now the GM has the upper hand, politically, and in outsourcing labor. Every union job could be replaced in a very short period of time, go ask Toyota and even worse, honda, they have waiting lists for the low hourly jobs.

Why would Lansing strike over trivial grievances and think GM would blink.

Here's corporate, like you say.... go ahead strike, see ya when you're broke.
