No End Visible In Goodyear Strike

No end in sight for Goodyear tire strike. Jesse Russell has more:

By Jesse Russell

10 weeks into a strike by more than 14,000 Goodyear Tire workers talks are still at a standstill. The workers are represented by the United Steelworkers who is fighting to save worker benefits and stop the company from closing plants. The strike impacts 16 plants in the United States and Canada. The company may be holding out until the end of the year when it can stop paying healthcare premiums for active-duty workers. An analyst at J.P. Morgan Securities said the workers will settle once that happens, but Steelworkers International Vice President Tom Conway disputes the prediction and suggests that the workers are dedicated to the long haul.
