Second strike may idle key GM plant
A second GM strike threatens more production losses as UAW warns after a Friday start at Flint Metal Center. Over 18,000 North American workers are idled, seven assembly plants halted, three parts plants partly closed, and a Delphi Flint East deadline looms. The dispute centers on jobs and staffing, with GM plans to cut workers amid modernization and attrition concerns, while the union fights to preserve jobs. Local unions accuse GM of shifting work abroad, and internal GM documents cited by Oakland Press allege doubling Mexico production.
