Скачать или смотреть What a strike by United Auto Workers could mean for the economy and the transportation industry

Several large trucking companies avoided their workers going on strike earlier this summer by reaching deals with the Teamsters union before their previous contracts expired. Now, the automotive industry in the U.S. is facing a potential worker strike if deals can’t be struck by the end of the day September 14.
