Court Orders End of GM ‘Wildcat’ Strike: Detroit-based General Motors Corp.’s assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, resumed full production after a federal court ordered union leaders to halt a strike. A wildcat, or unauthorized, strike began at the plant on Monday to protest the firing of an official of United Auto Workers union Local 1112. The strike slowed output of Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire cars at the plant, which employs almost 6,000 workers. The order also directed the union to stop any organizing of the strike and prohibited members from picketing. Union officials deny that they planned or participated in the strike. Union officials had issued statements asking workers to end the unauthorized strike and return to work.
