March 10, 2008
General Motors reports a strike by workers at supplier American Axle & Manufacturing has closed or slowed production at 29 assembly and component plants across North America. The automaker said it is losing production of about 18,300 vehicles per week.
Negotiators for the United Auto Workers union and American Axle returned to the bargaining table over the weekend but have yet to reach an agreement to settle the two-week strike.

In 2005 an "Autopolis," a huge automotive complex, was announced by officials in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Do you have an update on the progress of that project? Also, who are the principals behind it — any Detroit people?
Tnak you.
