Funny... from what I've seen orders on big trucks and SUVs have just about dried up anyways. In the end I think this is going to be a good thing for GM. Imagine all those monster vehicles sitting on the lots at the end of the year b/c of $5/gal gas and no way to sell them. They probably have saved themselves a lot in the long run by just not producing them. “The strike has also forced GM to stop orders on certain full-size trucks and SUVs.”

When the CAW has a deal to make, they get it done three months early. No strikes here. Now if it were in Cape Breton, they would probably never get a car built, for the daily strikes.

Most of that work will be sourced in Mexico, China and India. On the other hand, with the weak dollar, the transplants will start to source more components from the states. These will be non-union plants in southern Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and the south east. Soon there will be no critical component made by UAW shops.

Every day the UAW is striking one of the big threes suppliers. Who can blame them, It is only fair that the assembly line worker that stares intently at a machine while it attaches a C-clip to a shaft makes $47.50 an hour, plus four coffee breaks, and a full benefit package.
