This is not a great time for the UAW to be staging any kind of strike. Why? Because a bunch of UAW top officials from the president on down are facing federal charges for embezzling from their workers.

The UAW shouldn't be striking when under under indictment as they are weak. It's also at a time when auto sales are weakening.

This is a great time to strike if you want to distract people from the fact that your top officials and president are under investigation :-)
