Auto Workers Strike at Chrysler Halts Detroit Plants
Strikes and layoffs hit the auto industry as the UAW blames overproduction for unsold 1956 models. In Detroit 1,100 trim workers walked out at eight Chrysler plants, idling 13,500. Windsor Canada also saw 3,300 Chrysler workers walk out unauthorizedly. The union says production cuts are to force action on inventories, while Chrysler denies linked to pay.
