Our office is having problems getting new GM trucks for our employees and we're now switching to plan B, Ford. :rolleyes:
edit. Here's info on the axle strike.

From the article that CanadaSVT listed, the union blames everyone else but another union for the trouble woes at the Oshawa Truck Plant.
How ironic. :rolleyes:

No the work stoppage is due to the American Axle strike has NOTHING to do with GM cutting jobs.... Sales have been down big time for the GM trucks. GM had a stock pile already before the strike and why they aren't putting any pressure on American Axle to end the strike. The decision to go down to 1 shift is mainly because of sky rocketing fuel costs and lower sales volumes
I am however back to work for 3 weeks, building pilot builds, hybrids and we are limited to 1 shift of full regular production as they are shipping the axles up from Mexico
So far i've been laid off for 2 months this year due to overstock and the American Axle stike :rolleyes:
