The UAW local that represents workers at a General Motors Corp. stamping plant near Mansfield, Ohio, have threatened to go on strike at 10 a.m. Thursday, GM spokesman Dan Flores said Tuesday.

The workers at UAW Local 549 in Ontario, Ohio, have been working under threat of a strike for several weeks, while a local contract is negotiated.

The four other UAW locals that issued strike threat notices at the same time as Mansfield have now either reached tentative contract agreements or gone on strike.

The strikes are often said to be related to the UAW’s strike against American Axle & Manufacturing, which is now in its 12th week. On Tuesday, the company said an agreement is close, but held up by a few outstanding issues.

GM is having a bad year with the unions…about damn time!  Without the workers GM has zip!  The more that the automaker is attacked, the more and the sooner they could come to an agreement.
