GM moved up from 15th on the Fortune 500 top 20 companies to 8th while Ford dropped from 8th to 10th. May not sound like a big deal but GM`s revenues are going up at a much faster pace then Fords . I`d like to think the IUAW knew this way before we did. Just a thought.

I read recently that IUAW said that no strike target had been named and they may not name one at all.

Read the whole story. The IUAW wants a contact with GM first. They do not want one with Ford until last. They are not calling it a strike target. The UAW will never strike unless something crazy happens.
