The duration and economic impact of a potential UAW strike against the Detroit automakers is uncertain, with the UAW's strategic walkouts making it difficult to predict the length of the strike and losses in the economy.

However, a strike-induced recession for the US economy seems unlikely, and Michigan could rebound with wage gains if the strike is relatively short.
