Strike Over Yet Production Likely to Decline Before Recovery
Detroit automakers said the steel strike ended but production and unemployment would worsen before improving. The 53 day stoppage idled half the workers in the auto industry and about one ninth of vehicles planned for the year would not be built. Automotive News projects 6,200,000 units target but output now at 250,000 and could reach 700,000 even if mills reopen. Ward's Reports estimated nearly one billion dollars lost in steel disruption.
