GM strike:Nearly 50,000 workers walk out at America's biggest automaker/Teamsters stand with workers

"What we're covering here today
Workers walk out: The United Auto Workers union went on strike against General Motors late Sunday. It's the biggest strike by any labor organization in the United States since 2007. GM, America's largest automaker, has 46,000 UAW members on its payroll.
What happens next: The two parties are scheduled to resume negotiations Monday morning."
