The biggest US automobile workers' union, UAW, called on 7,000 more members to join an already major strike against the top three Detroit car manufacturers Friday. If the strike goes ahead as planned, the additional 7,000 workers will join more than 18,000 workers -- around 13 percent of the membership -- who are already on strike in 41 facilities across 21 states.
