From The New York Times:
The United Automobile Workers union walked off the job at Chrysler LLC plants nationwide this morning after the two sides failed to reach agreement on a new four-year contract by a union-set deadline.
Chrysler has about 48,000 workers in the United States. About 12,000 workers are exempt from the strike, however, while their plants are temporarily closed by Chrysler.
The strike is the second in two weeks by the union against a Detroit automaker. Workers at General Motors struck for two days before the union reached a tentative deal with G.M. on Sept. 26.

GM is finally leading by example again...only this time it's with labor problems and not with automobiles. I would suspect that this strike wouldn't last more than a few days, but who really knows now-a-days?
I think the workers should get what they are asking for.
UNION YES!!!!!!
