UAW STRIKES GM: Pickets go up at automakers' plants

UAW members started picketing at Hamtramck, Lansing and Orion and other locations when the union’s 11 a.m. deadline for a new labor agreement with General Motors passed, according to the Detroit Free Press.

At 1:40 a.m. this morning, the UAW officially announced that it had set an 11 a.m. strike deadline, which coincides with scheduled lunch breaks at some plants. The two sides continued to negotiate this morning.
