The United Auto Workers say that they have not decided if they will choose a strike target during negotiations with automakers this year. The UAW has traditionally chosen one company to negotiate a deal with, and the other companies use that agreement as a pattern for their own. If the union was unable to reach an agreement with the first company, they would sometimes strike. The UAW says that they want to maintain their relationships with the companies, and that they hope they do not have to pick a strike target. The union also said that their members need to be rewarded for the concessions that they made to keep the car companies afloat. Bargaining will begin later this year.
