In the document that spells out the tentative pact between General Motors Corp. and the UAW, their futures are listed as: "demand and business case dependent,""no future product allocation," or even possible sale or closure. Fifteen factories in places such as Orion Township; Wentzville, Mo.; and Wilmington, Del.; have been left on shaky ground by the pact that the United Auto Workers hailed as having won unprecedented job security from GM. Most of the 15 factories will see their current work go out of production in 2011, when the four-year contract would expire, with the next generation of their main products listed as dependent on demand and business cases, according to a UAW document called the "white book" that spells out contract details. At four of the factories, the document says no future product has been identified for them.
