New local UAW strike disrupts GM crossover production

It looks like GM can't catch a break lately, as a fresh UAW strike at Alliance Interiors, the automaker's interior parts supplier, disrupted production of its crossover SUVs. The strike involves 90 workers at Alliance, located in Lansing, Michigan, over contract negotiations with the UAW that started nearly one year ago, in May.

As a result of the walk-out, production of the Lambda platform CUVs (Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia) was halted on Wednesday morning at GM's Lansing Delta Township assembly plant, with partial production slated for the day's second shift, according to a GM spokesperson in an Automotive News report.

"We are ready to hold talks any time, any place," said UAW Local 724 Dean Poggiali, "and sit down to work out a deal that is fair and equitable to our members."
