ARLINGTON (1080 KRLD) - Today begins week four of the strike that has idled four-thousand Arlington GM workers along with 45,000 of their colleagues around the country.

Over the weekend, UAW Vice-President Terry Dittes gave a pretty pessimistic assessment of the progress in the negotiations.

Arlington workers continue walking the picket line at the GM plant on Highway 360.

They're getting by on $250 in strike pay, a fraction of their normal paycheck. 

Analysts say GM is losing at least $80 million a day.
