Good find.
Here are the details from Automotive News email alert:
UAW Local 31 has given General Motors a five-day strike notice that it will walk out at GM's Fairfax assembly plant Tuesday, April 22, unless local contract issues are resolved, said UAW Local 31 President Jeff Manning.
The Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan., builds the Malibu sedan. The 2,700 workers there do not have a local contract despite negotiations since GM signed its national contract with the UAW in September.
GM spokesman Dan Flores said the automaker continues to bargain in good faith with local unions in several locations. " Our focus is on reaching new local agreements as quickly as we can," he said.
Manning said the two sides have not been able to agree on seniority and other factory issues. He declined to be more specific.
