American Axle strike idles two more General Motors factories |
DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. says the eight-week strike at American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. has forced it to cut production at two more factories.
GM spokesman Dan Flores says the company on Monday cut one of three shifts at an Oshawa, Ontario, factory that makes the Chevrolet Impala and Buick Lacrosse sedans. It also cut production of four-speed transmissions at a factory in Washtenaw County's Ypsilanti Township.
The strike at American Axle has affected production at 30 GM factories in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The parts supplier makes axles, drive shafts, stabilizer bars and other components mainly for GM pickups and large sport utility vehicles.
About 3,600 United Auto Workers members have been on strike against American Axle since Feb. 26.
