ROCKFORD (WREX) -
United Auto Workers 1268 in Belvidere recently received a notice asking them to vote on whether to allow the union to strike.
In 2011, the UAW did not vote on whether to authorize a strike because of an agreement the group made with Chrysler in 2009 when the company went into bankruptcy. That agreement expired and the UAW has moved forward with the vote.
But it does not necessarily mean workers are walking off the job anytime soon.
"I don't think this is a kumbaya kind of negotiations that they are all on the same page. But just because they voted for a strike authorization does not mean there is going to be a strike," says Center for Automotive Research Industry & Labor Group Director Kristin Dziczek.
