The United Auto Workers said about 96% of members for each of the automakers supported the action. That's slightly down from negotiations four years ago, when workers at GM and Fiat Chrysler supported a strike by 97% and Ford at 98%.
The "strike authorization vote" is part of the union's constitution and viewed as a rudimentary step in the negotiations. The voting results are historically almost unanimous in support of the authorization. The vote does not mean there will or will not be a strike.
In 2007, a two-day strike against GM stopped production at more than 80 facilities in the U.S., costing the automaker more than $300 million a day, according to Buckingham Research Group., said no one goes into collective bargaining wanting a strike, but it is a "key tool in the toolbelt as our bargaining team sits across from the company."
