Leaders of the United Auto Workers union are considering targeted strikes at a small number of factories run by each of Detroit’s three automakers if they can’t reach contract agreements by a Thursday night deadline. For people at a General Motors Plant in Parma, the ripple effects of a strike are hitting close to home.
PARMA, Ohio - Leaders of the United Auto Workers union are considering targeted strikes at a small number of factories run by each of Detroit’s three automakers if they can’t reach contract agreements by a Thursday night deadline.
“We’re fighting corporate greed,” said Dan Schwartz, President of the UAW Local 1005. “The national union bargaining team has given GM our demands, and they gave us counter proposals that are pretty much an embarrassment.”The union’s leadership discussed smaller-scale strikes at a meeting on Friday, and local union leaders were told about the strategy on Tuesday afternoon, two people with knowledge of the strategy said.
Schwartz said he and chairman of the local bargaining committee, Al Tiller, are hard at work preparing union members for a potential strike.“There are close to 900 people and their families that are affected by this,” said Schwartz. “I care about all 900 people in that plant; they’re my brothers, they’re my sisters, and I’ll stand next to them and ease their stress and their anxiety. Have I lost sleep already? Yeah, I’ve lost a couple of days, I’ve lost some hours, there’s no doubt about it.
