What exactly did this almost month and a half strike really do for the union? A pathway for temps to be permanent, a slight pay increase, and a stay on the Hamtramck plant...... when what the union REALLY wanted was to re-open Lordstown and move all Silverado and Blazer assembly out of Mexico and back into the United States.
Sounds to me, in the end, the union caved and GM prevailed. Yeah GM lost a couple billion - that's loose change under their sofa cushions to be honest.
If I was in the UAW right now I'd feel like we lost.
