UAW Calls for Strike Vote at Delphi

WSJ.com:

"DETROIT -- The United Auto Workers asked its members to authorize a strike against Delphi Corp. in preparation for an expected showdown with the auto-parts maker, a dispute that could hurt loss-plagued General Motors Corp. if it
devolves into a walkout.

Delphi, which filed for bankruptcy protection in October, next week is planning to seek court approval to cancel its contract with the UAW. Yesterday, UAW Vice President Richard Shoemaker told local union leaders to seek a vote by May 14 that would give senior union officials authority to call a strike."

And we wonder why our automakers are losing money and Toyota is gaining market share? While we're busy 'managing' employee demands, they're responding to the market.
