GM Strike Talks Recess Without Agreement

Strike talks at a General Motors Corp. metal-stamping plant recessed without agreement, setting the stage for the auto maker to reduce car and truck production this week. Negotiations will resume today. About 3,400 hourly workers from United Auto Workers Local 659 went on strike Friday at the Flint Metal Center in Flint, Mich. The dispute covers staffing, work rules, new investment and other issues. Analysts expect the stoppage to quickly choke off supplies of several parts for GM’s profitable pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles.
