The United Auto Workers union broke with tradition in its on-going contract negotiations with Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. The union has declined to formally announce a strike target, as is typically done by Labor Day of the contract year. However NPR's Don Gonyea reports that there are indications that the union is focusing its attention on one company, Ford, in hopes of reaching a settlement that can serve as a pattern for the other two companies.
