What I'd like to see is the UAW striking Delphi on behalf of the whole US working class, and sparking a vast upsurge of radical support. That seems more likely than WW organizing a general strike, but it too seems a very remote possibility.

James P. Hoffa did send a letter endorsing the WW's Million Worker Movement, and he used the words "working class" in the letter. The UAW may be looking to some radicals to help stir up some stuff. Some of the opportunist trade union leaders of the thirties turned to the CP and other radical cadre as union organizers when they wanted to get militant in making industrial unions.
