Economist says UAW's strike strategy is "a dangerous thing" that could lead to the shutdown of more plants
CBSN

The strategy of striking against all three automakers but at select plants — with the possibility of expanding the strike if necessary — is new for the union.
Patrick Anderson, an economist, said such a tactic could have far-reaching consequences for the industry, potentially leading to the shutdown of more plants than initially intended.
