UAW strike at GM could cost the automaker billions if it lasts more than a week or two, analysts warn. A two week strike would spare cash and improve inventories, but longer action could burn through about 8.1 billion in month one and 7.2 billion in month two, barring production in Mexico or Canada. GM faces tight supply on new Enclave, Acadia, Outlook models even with large stock, while owners seek job security and retiree health care terms.
