United Auto Workers 2,500-strong Local 31 hits 'Car of the Year'
facility; GM lost $3.3B in first quarter.
http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/05/news/companies/gm_strike.ap/index.htm?...tion=mo
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Members of a United Auto Workers union local
went on strike Monday at General Motors' Fairfax facility -- hitting
the plant that makes GM's popular Malibu sedan.
During talks over the weekend, UAW Local 31 set a Monday morning
strike deadline because union negotiators believed the two sides
remained far from an agreement. The Fairfax plant employs more than
2,500 UAW members.
The plant makes the Chevrolet Malibu, a medium-sized sedan that was
named "Car of the Year" at this year's North American International
Auto Show in Detroit.
The strike hits a key GM (GM, Fortune 500) product at a time when the
company can ill afford it.
Last week GM announced that it lost $3.3 billion in the first quarter,
due largely to one-time charges and North American losses that offset
gains in the rest of the world. |

Frustrated owners try to unload their guzzlers

Oil nears $123 on $200 oil prediction, supply concerns
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080506/oil_prices.html?.v=20
Strike may dent Malibu sales
http://tinyurl.com/4gsvej
etc., etc.
If that $200/barrel price for oil ever comes to pass we will see the
collapse of the auto industry in the US or its 1st cousin. $200 oil
will devastate us even though Europe pays two or three times what we pay
per gallon. Either way we are in for very rough times, especially if
Detroit insists on doing business the old way.

According to Automotive News
GM Stops Building GMC Yukon, Denali, Sierra, Heavy Duty; and Chevrolet
Tahoe
there is no end in sight to General Motors' North American profit
drought
If the American Axle strike continues, there might be additional
production cuts >> Stay informed about: GM Chevrolet plant workers strike |
