GM's Saturn plant opts for vote on strike

Article Abstract:

General Motors' 8,700 United Auto Worker (UAW) employees at the firm's Saturn factory in Spring Hill, TN, are slated to hold their first-ever strike vote on Jul. 19, 1998, over a contract disagreement. Two-thirds approval is required to give employees' leaders the right to call a strike. The Jul. 19, 1998, strike vote is centered on bonuses. According to UAW, Saturn employees should be given bonuses of $1,400 for the second quarter. However, according to reports, General Motors wants to give Saturn workers $400 in bonuses because the Saturn factory did not meet its objectives on some days.

Strike keeps parts from GM plants

Article Abstract:

General Motors (GM) employees continue to hold a strike at the auto maker's plant in Flint, MI. The strike, which was undertaken by the United Auto Workers union, has initiated a debate on GM's moves to globalize operations. Some 3,400 workers at GM's metal center are involved in the strike. Meanwhile, the Flint strike may be joined by another walkout at GM's Delphi East parts plant. With its thrust towards globalization, GM is being accused of placing US workers behind that of other countries.

Workers set strike deadline at key GM plant

Article Abstract:

General Motors (GM) workers at its Flint, MI, metal center threatened to hold a strike if a new agreement is not reached by Jun. 4, 1998. The threat of a strike by United Auto Workers officials was prompted by the company's actions to protect production of its new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The union officials are also made over the automaker's refusal to replace workers who leave. GM is trying to cut more than 40,000 jobs over a few years in its bid to be more efficient.
