#1, in MI it's f***in cold outside right now. March all you want, you're only freezing your own a**es off.

#2, GM truck sales are through the floor anyway. It does them no good to pay people to make a bunch of trucks that aren't selling. That'll be less 08's with huge cash rebates on the hood when 09's are released.

#3, GM is shutting down a lot of other factories because of the strike at this one. Not all of those factories are union shops, so those people are being told to go home with no union safety net - ie they're not getting paid.

I'm sure GM could hold out on this one. Sure the employees of the places that depend on this deal (especially the ones that aren't unionized) are hating this because they are out of work, but I'm sure GM knows how much money they're saving while all of this is going on.]]>Mar 7th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/07/gm-american-axle-strike-to-slow-down-or-stop-20-plants/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/07/gm-american-axle-strike-to-slow-down-or-stop-20-plants/Mar 11th 2008 9:00AM
