American Axle Workers prepare for potential strike on Sunday

Members of the United Autoworkers (UAW) local 2093 working at American Axle (Dauch Corp.), a supplier for General Motors, could walk out of the Three Rivers, Mich., facility at midnight on Sunday, May 31.

According to the union’s May 27 statement, members are awaiting a new agreement from management of Detroit-based American Axle ahead of Sunday. The workers filed several Unfair Labor Practice charges related to American Axle’s conduct following its vote to approve a strike earlier this month. The members say the company has threatened and intimidated workers in the lead up to Sunday.
