So what did the UAW actually? It sounds like they sat down with Ford and Chrysler in a deal to go after GM.
Local leaders with the United Auto Workers union on Thursday began preparing to walk picket lines as soon as Friday if contract talks with General Motors Corp. (GM.N) break down after the UAW singled out the No. 1 U.S. automaker as its strike target.
Rival automakers Ford Motor Co. (F.N) and privately held Chrysler LLC said they had signed contract extensions with the UAW, clearing the way for their union-represented workers to continue working under the terms of their existing contracts even after the industry-wide deal on wages and benefits expires on Friday.
If the UAW was truly representing ALL of their members, why would they agree to contract extensions with Ford and Chrysler but not GM? Yeah, uh huh.
