Short Sharp Strike
What is it with these super-short UAW strikes? The one at GM lasted only two days, while the one at Chrysler lasted about six hours. Is it a way for the UAW negotiators to concede gracefully while appearing tough to their membership? Is it a gentle reminder from the union to the management that they'd better stay friendly? Is it all some kind of elaborate kabuki incomprehensible to outsiders? In any case, if Stephen Feinberg of Cerberus bought Chrysler expecting little trouble from the union, he might not have been far off the mark.
