The only one hurting here are the workers.
#1, in MI it's f***in cold outside right now. March all you want, you're only freezing your own a**es off.
#2, GM truck sales are through the floor anyway. It does them no good to pay people to make a bunch of trucks that aren't selling. That'll be less 08's with huge cash rebates on the hood when 09's are released.
#3, GM is shutting down a lot of other factories because of the strike at this one. Not all of those factories are union shops, so those people are being told to go home with no union safety net - ie they're not getting paid.
I'm sure GM could hold out on this one. Sure the employees of the places that depend on this deal (especially the ones that aren't unionized) are hating this because they are out of work, but I'm sure GM knows how much money they're saving while all of this is going on.

UAW is not striking against GM. They are striking against American Axle. If you remember correctly, UAW and GM reached their contract in the fall after a one day strike. Maybe American Axle should take note on how to nogotiate from GM.
