First GM, now Chrysler:
UAW is on strike again 
Wednesday, October 10th,
2007
 
The second nationwide auto strike in less
than two weeks is upon us. Over 45,000 members of the United Auto
Workers union went on strike against Chrysler LLC on Wednesday morning,
when labor talks between the union and the auto giant failed. The
UAW went on strike against GM on
September 24th, though it came to an end two days later when a tentative
agreement was reached and stuck.
The strike against Chrysler is spread
across 14 states in the U.S. It is the first strike against
Chrysler since 1985, but the first under new Cerberus Capital Management. Chrysler is
looking to escape about $18 billion in retiree health care costs, and
have been unable to reach an agreement with the UAW.
