Re: The Axle Strike continues
The Axle Strike continues to disrupt the business of many of the automotive manufacturers. Recently I talked to a manager at McKechnie (an old school automotive supplier with a long history of plating and powder coating) and found that they are only operating one shift as a direct result of this strike. I was surprised to see how this strike was hitting so close to home (down in the Carolinas).
The AP in Detriot had this to day today....
DETROIT (AP) — Discussions between the striking United Auto Workers union and parts supplier American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. continued over the weekend as the work stoppage neared three weeks.
American Axle spokeswoman Renee Rogers says Sunday night that ''ongoing dialogue'' continued over the weekend.
About 3,600 UAW workers at five American Axle plants in Michigan and New York left their jobs for the picket lines on Feb. 26.
The resulting parts shortage forced General Motors Corp. to close all or part of 28 plants, affecting more than 37,000 hourly workers.
