How potential UAW strike against Big Three could impact metro Detroit's economy
When you’re a business across the street from an auto factory, you live and die by the United Auto Workers union. Motor City Sports Bar & Grill in Warren is no different. “After work, they come by, hangout, have a few drinks, relax, kind of just unwind," owner David Nuculaj said of the auto workers. Nuculaj says about 85% of his customers work at the factory. He’s been following the talks, optimistic a strike won't happen. He’s felt the impacts before and says he’s not too worried if it happens again.
