The UAW and American Axle will soon be talking again in an effort to end the strike that started February 26th. The company has given the union some of the financial information the UAW says it needs to adequately bargain with the company. The strike was called over unfair labor practices for the company’s refusal to provide such information. American Axle is trying to force down wages and eliminate pensions and healthcare for future retirees. The strike is now threatening GM production of cars because eighty percent of American Axle’s business is supplying GM and the strike has cut off the supply of those parts.
