UAW locals rally, fear loss of work

Tensions are ratcheting up as the deadline nears on the labor contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit automakers, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Around 1,000 UAW members rallied on the west lawn of Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills Wednesday to show discontent with their local negotiations, which are running concurrent with national talks. In particular, they oppose the automakers' demands that contract workers replace some union members.
