A United Auto Workers rally kicked off on Chicago's South Side at the Local 551 Chapter Thursday afternoon.
Since no deals have been agreed on with the Big Three Automakers, another plant will go on strike Friday. The announcement will come from Detroit at 9 a.m."We haven’t had a raise in 8 to 10 years, and we’re trying to set the standard for the working class, not be behind. We really want pensions brought back, we want the cost of living rate that was given up during the recession era," Pena said.
Pena says it's a guessing game whether Chicago will be called upon, but he has a strong feeling it might be here.
