29 GM Plants Hit by Supplier Strike

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.

Tnak you.
