Unions

Though classes are canceled, buildings will remain open and meals will be served.

Working parents will be scrambling to find childcare — and pay for it.

"I'm sure the team members at General Motors are anxious to get back to work and earn a paycheck," Jim Lentz, Toyota Motor North America CEO, said.

The strike is not technically over, but this is a positive sign.

If the UAW cannot make progress on Thursday, there is one action it could take that would further leverage GM.

The union's strike against the company is just shy of the one-month mark.

How long can the strike fund hold out? It will cover weekly strike pay of $275 (recently bumped up from $250) for roughly 46,000 striking GM workers.

The teachers union would accept a phased approach to capping class sizes as well as increasing the number of social workers, case managers and school nurses, they told reporters Saturday afternoon.

The striking workers plan to distribute leaflets at the dealerships, as well.

The strike will include two locations in Pennsylvania, three in Maryland and one in Florida.

The decision comes as the UAW's nationwide strike against General Motors is a few days away from its one-month mark.

The impact of the General Motors strike is larger than some Americans think.

The St. Louis home of UAW Region 5 director Vance Pearson, who is now on leave after being charged with corruption, was raided on Aug. 28.

The labor action is hurting workers outside the auto industry, and they don't have union assistance.
