their contracts are no longer valid...they have new owners. The new owners are RUTHLESS, The UAW has got to be crapping themselves over it already. They are not there to be nice, just make $$$ so they are gonna do what they need to, not what any bully union say to like the traditional automakers did.
watch for agressive plant closures and massive layoffs as it goes along. gm will likely get Jeep in a month or so, then the chinese will be coming. it will happen fast especially if the union doesn't let drastic cost cutting thru. I would not be surprised to see the entire workforce let go and then rehired as temps as they transfer the factories to china.
You have to know that they could just close the company down, work on the huge inventory that they have (almost seems like that was the plan now) until the plants are up and going in china or mexico...
