They seem to be specifically targeting GM -- for now -- anyone have any thoughts on whether this could expand to effect '08 SRT-10 production?

Only GM is on strike. The UAW strike TARGETS a rotating manufacturer. GM is the target, and Chrysler should not be affected

DETROIT -- The UAW went on strike against Chrysler LLC at 11 a.m. today after contract negotiations failed to reach a deal by the strike deadline.
The stoppage affects 49,000 UAW-represented hourly employees at 31 U.S. factories and technical centers. The strike also is expected to shut Chrysler’s Canadian plants within 24 hours as parts run dry.

Five U.S. assembly plants were not included in the strike because they have already been idled by the company, according to a source briefed on the situation.
The strike would idle 9,000 Canadian Auto Workers at three Chrysler plants including Windsor, Ontario, where Chrysler is launching its critically important redesigned minivan.

So, I'll ask again...

huh???

"Local leaders of the United Auto Workers union on Monday voted to recommend approval of a new four-year contract with automaker Chrysler LLC ...
The UAW's negotiating focus now shifts to Ford Motor Co , with that automaker expected to face pressure from the union to follow the broad pattern of the already concluded agreements with GM and Chrysler."

UAW will be the downfall of the American auto.

I have absolutely no respect for the organization or what it stands for today. At one time in meant something. Now it is so cash rich that it has to pay people money to take it's money. Ridiculous!

TODAY, there are no room for unions in today's America. Overseas, that is a different story.

I couldn't have said it better, DITTO:2tu: Now the downfall of the US production market. We can't compete here.
