I heard about this several weeks ago and kept an ear out for any news reporting on it. Neither the right wing wing media or the left wing media here has said a damn thing about this. I did hear a BBC radio report.
The UAW and all three car manufacturers have come to a contract agreement that is good for workers, good for management, and good for the country. It is a fine example of what management and workers can do when they put there heads together to come up with common sense solutions, without the dick measuring contest mentality. Also, as an added bonus, they will INSOURCE jobs from China, Japan, and Mexico. I am only going to post the Ford link but all three have signed on to the new agreement.

The Obama administration made the right call on this one. Credit where credit is due. The BBC report had a source, which I cannot recall at the moment, that stated, the US auto industry will be a big part of pulling the US out of recession.
side note:
Check out the new Ford service van.

It is a blatant rip off of the Mercedes Sprinter. We are finally learning from the Chinese.
