Agreed. If we are limiting ourselves to speculation as to which news event served as today's catalyst, I'd sooner say the UAW 1112 President throwing in the towel was the cause. For those unaware, President of Lordstown UAW announced today that he will be moving to GM's Bedford, IN plant. Here's a quote from the article (link below):

"“I think 1112 is going to be viable for a few years here, and I’m also still confident that some product will come to Lordstown, whether it’s General Motors or not,” Green said. “But I really don’t believe that plant is just going to sit empty.”

Green (i.e. 1112 President) had previously made clear his intentions to stay behind while 1112 members were being transferred and wait for GM to deliver a new product to Lordstown.
