It seems like the strike is primarily about keeping jobs and healthcare while raising wages:
"""
Union demands for job security, higher base wages and retaining arguably the best health care coverage in the private sector are certain to clash with GM's plan to negotiate the shutdown of four U.S. plants and its push to close the cost gap with non-union foreign automakers operating mostly in the American South.

STEVE GORALSKI: We’ve got a company that had $35 billion in profits in the last few years. We’ve got temporaries that have been here over seven years and are still temporaries, and they’re asking for more temporaries. They’re moving our plants out of country; they’re taking them to Mexico and to China. And now they’re asking for concessions on our healthcare. I don’t know about you, but that’s the only reason I took this job. I used to have my own drywall company. I took it for the benefits.
