"Everyone is definitely paying attention to what is going on, but in terms of direct impact here in Arlington we have not experienced that," said John Urbanic, GM's Arlington assembly plant executive director, in his first comments to FOX 4 since the strike began.Urbanic believes the offer from GM to the union is more reasonable and meets the needs of workers.
The United Auto Workers Union is threatening to expand its strike if no progress is made in negotiations this week. The workers at Arlington's GM Assembly Plant are ready. "Our cause is just.
