General Motors Co. says its U.S. factories have returned to relatively normal production today after the United Auto Workers union ended its 40-day strike on Friday.
Some workers reportedly returned last weekend to prep equipment. GM acknowledges that it may take through this week to fully replenish its supply channels.
GM lost an estimated $4 billion in lost production during the strike. Suppliers are believed to have lost a lesser total, because most of them also supply other companies and were able to continue at least some operations during the strike.
Separately, GM confirms it has fired three UAW member employees for violence or threats of violence at its assembly plant in Flint, Mich. The company says the incidents consisted of breaking a windshield and making bomb threats.
