| Abstract: | A local GM strike may kick off a long brawl over jobs in the auto industry. Foe General Motors it was like the throb of a migraine headache building to a sickening crescendo. First, angered by the company's aggressive farming out of work, 3,000 workers struck two brake-parts plants in Dayton, Ohio. Then , as brake inventories ran out, GM had to shut down its car and truck plants, one by one. Twenty-two of GM's 29 North American assembly plants had gone idle by Mar. 13. Management and the United Auto workers grudgingly agreed to resume bargaining and seemed likely to settle their differences. But the painful toll remained. |
