Some 3,200 United Auto Workers union members have walked out at the Nexteer Automotive Corp. parts plant in Saginaw, Mich., after rejecting a four-year labor contract by a 97% margin two days ago.
Analysts say the strike could impact vehicle production within a few days. The Nexteer facility supplies steering systems and driveline components to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors factories in North America.
Nexteer, formerly GM’s Saginaw Steering Gear Div., is a Chinese-owned $3 billion-per-year company with 21 plants in the Americas, Australia, China, Europe and India.
