Auto workers to strike over GM contract talks impasse, union says
49,000 members at General Motors plants will go on strike on Sunday night after negotiations had broken down
The United Auto Workers union has said its 49,000 members at General Motors plants in the US will go on strike on Sunday night, because contract negotiations with the automaker had broken down.
The decision came after about 200 plant-level UAW leaders voted unanimously in favor of a walkout during a meeting in Detroit.
