In the last go-round with Ford, King asked his membership to agree to concessions that took strikes off the table, which the UAW&#8217;s rank and file promptly denied. Despite the contention, King has been thought of as Ron Gettelfinger&#8217;s replacement for some time, and the union hopes King will be a tougher customer in the throes of negotiation. <\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748704517504574590302320362062.html\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> &#8211; Sub.
