UAW Strike Against GM Axle Supplier Dauch Continues, No Talks Held
Summary
The UAW strike at Dauch Corp's Three Rivers, Michigan axle plant is continuing, with no negotiations taking place since the union initiated the strike on Sunday. This follows news from June 1st regarding the strike's commencement. The plant supplies axles for GM's profitable pickup trucks, and GM reportedly has only about two weeks of supply, indicating a significant supply chain disruption if the strike prolongs. Dauch Corp recently reported a Q1 net loss and negative operating cash flow, making this operational disruption particularly impactful. The duration of the strike and any resumption of negotiations will be critical to watch.
