FLINT -- UAW Local 651 voted yes to authorizing a strike last night.

According to UAW 651 president, Art Reyes, this does not mean there will be a strike.

The UAW is hoping the strike authorization will pressure GM during contract negotiations.

72% of the membership voted "yes" on the authorization vote.

The union has been operating without a contract for two years.

Local 651 represents about 850 workers at the Flint Delphi Electronics East.
