Powertrain to re-idle 1,100 Toledo employees

28.03.2008 09:03 Shopping - Source: toledoblade.com

About 1,100 employees of General Motors Corp.’s Toledo Powertrain plant on Alexis Road will work today before being laid off again because of the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers against American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc.

Powertrain plant employees had returned to work Tuesday to build four-speed transmissions for a truck plant in Shreveport, La., that had enough axles on hand to continue production. The local plant had been shut down for several days because of the American Axle dispute.

The new layoff is expected to last at least two weeks, UAW Local 14 President Ray Wood said yesterday.

Because of the increasingly bitter monthlong strike, GM said it will idle the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant after today, and a union local president in Lordstown, Ohio, said his complex will be shut down April 4. Twenty-eight other GM plants in the United States and Canada are fully or partially shut down.
