KING: More turmoil in the economy today because of a big strike against General Motors. The United auto workers called for the strike at mid night. More than 48,000 workers walking out of 31 Gm factories and 20 other facilities in nine states, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Indiana and Kansas. It's the auto industry's first big strike in a dozen years. You see some live pictures there of some picketers. The UAW complaining GM is putting profits ahead of wages and benefits for employees who helped turn the company around after bankruptcy and a Federal Bailout decade ago. Negotiations do continue GM and the UAW have been at the table for a few hours now today President Trump weighing in on Twitter urging the parties to "Get together and make a deal". Kalea Hall joins me now. She covers the auto industry for the Detroit News. Kalea is this about one sticking point or is it a little bit of everything that has the parties apart?</s>KALEA HALL, AUTOMOTIVE REPORTER, THE DETROIT NEWS: John, there are multiple sticking points here. We have health care, we have wages, we have trying to get seniority for the temporary workers really several issues here which are very difficult to work through for both sides. It's hard to tell where they're at, at this point. But we know they're negotiating, right now, they've been negotiating since 10:00 this morning. I've been told that those negotiations are ongoing at this point.</s>KING: And you - I was told just before we came on the air that you had been in touch with GM in the middle of the negotiations saying they go on. The General Motors statement on Sunday says we presented a strong offer that improves wages, benefits and gross U.S. jobs in substantive ways and it's disappointing that the UAW leadership has chosen to strike. We have negotiated in good faith and with a sense of urgency. That is the company's position. Take us inside the union calculation here. They could have had a strike at one or two plants? They could have done something less broad if you will, but they decided to go big. What's the strategy behind that?</s>HALL: Experts are saying the reason for that obviously--
