Tension is growing in the American Axle strike as dozens of GM plants remain closed by the UAW strike at the auto parts maker. Over the weekend two people were arrested for disorderly conduct on the picket lines in Detroit. Bill Alford is Vice-President of UAW Local 235. He says morale is high on the picket lines, but the company is at times taunting picketers.
[Alford]: “We've got, you know, people trying to come out here and picket in peace and they're being taunted and things like that, you know. And you know all my picketers are just tryin' to come out here - you know they're hard-workin' people. They work nine to five and they come out here and picket. And then you've got the company, you know, does tactics - things that they know will probably incite people and make them upset."

It has finally happened and its very sad. Scabs have started to cross the picket line. There is nothing american when american scabs try to crush what the unions are trying to protect. They are coming in from other states and should be stopped! These people have no care for others and are cruel and ignorant. How would they like to have their jobs taken away. Scabs are worse than a thief in the night. They slide in like snakes and slither out. They are low life losers that cant hold a job anyways. They should be stoned at the gate like criminals.
