Thousands of UAW members walked off the job yesterday in the first nationwide strike against General Motors since 1970.
Some of the Janesville plant's 2,800 workers are among them.
The Janesville workers usually make more than 1,000 sport utility vehicles a day,

But an analyst for Lehman Brothers says a one month strike would cost the company more than $8 billion.
