    STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - "Build them where they sell them" was the battle cry from hundreds of autoworkers and their supporters at a rally in front of Chrysler's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) Sept. 25. The plant, eight miles north of Detroit, is scheduled to close in December 2010 but the union here is aggressively working to reverse that decision.

    So the union (the UAW) is fighting against itself, because it's a majority owner (55%) in Chrysler...to prevent lost union jobs and plant closings...

    You can't make this stuff up...
