Members of UAW Local 699 walk off the job to strike at the Nexteer Automotive plant in Saginaw early this morning.

At 12:01 AM this morning (11/8) UAW members took to the front gates of Nexteer Automotive plant in Saginaw to picket. This strike is the result of an overwhelmingly voted down proposed labor contract with Nexteer.

Not sure how long the strike will last, but a number of UAW members on the picket line mentioned that they will continue to strike for "as long as it takes".
