CNN story that is way to long to post here
They blocked off the road to our local plant that's scheduled to close by Christmas of 2009 not only for UAW contracts but in hopes of keeping the plant open. My dad took a stop by for about an hour and told me most of the 500 employees were out picketing. Just imagine that at every GM plant across the US.
