3,000 Workers Strike GM Plants

DAYTON, Ohio —
About 3,000 workers went on strike Tuesday at two General Motors Corp. factories that supply brakes to nearly all the company’s assembly plants, threatening to disrupt production at the No. 1 auto maker.
Members of the United Auto Workers cited job security and worker safety concerns in walking off the job at the two Delphi Chassis System plants in Dayton. The plants produce parts used on nearly all GM cars and trucks.
Tom Klipstine, a GM spokesman in Warren, Mich., said the strike would have no immediate effect on other GM operations. A three-day strike at the plants two years ago idled five GM assembly plants.
Analysts said the latest dispute could hurt GM production if it is not resolved quickly.
