New York CNN —The United Auto Workers Union is prepared to strike automakers for “months,” according to leaked messages obtained by CNN.
One advantage for the union of a targeted strike is the potential to save resources and extend a possible strike.
The union members who are on strike are eligible for $500 a week in strike benefits from the union’s strike fund.
With targeted strikes, it’s possible that the companies will shut down operations and lay off members who are not technically on strike.
John Hatline, who has worked at General Motors for 49 years and has seen his fair share of strikes, told CNN before the strikes began that he thought targeted strikes can work.
