If this round of UAW contracts is indeed a transformational turning point that will make Detroit's auto companies competitive with their Asian rivals, there was bound to be drama and brinksmanship along the way, according to the Detroit Free Press's Tom Walsh.

And there was. Union workers struck Chrysler plants for about six hours Wednesday before UAW President Ron Gettelfinger announced a tentative contract deal at Chrysler just before 5:30 p.m. He also said workers at General Motors Corp. have ratified their contract, reached after a two-day strike, by a ratio of nearly 2-1.
