The break on production at truck and transmission plants was reported by Dan Flores, spokesperson for the company, according to press reports. In that way, the information added, General Motors faces serious problems for the new supplies of the Chevrolet Silverado light truck, its top-selling vehicle in the United States.
On the other hand, workers in this country are receiving $250 a week due to unemployment, instead of their normal basic salary of about $1,200 during that stage.
In the opinion of analyst Ryan Brinkman of the financial company J.P. Morgan Chase, the strike has cost the vehicle manufacturer more than a billion dollars.
The protagonists of the strike, affiliated with the United Auto Workers (UAW), which negotiates with the company, demand better wages and working conditions.
First since 2007, the strike began after two months of talks between UAW and General Motors in order to sign a collective agreement.
Also, workers are seeking greater health benefits and that the entity limit the use of temporary employees and cancel its plans to close the respective Lordstown and Hamtrack plants in 2020 in Ohio and Michigan.
At the beginning of the strike, the UAW estimated that the two negotiating parties only agreed on two percent of the content of the collective agreement, and that, various sources pointed out, suggested remote positions and plenty of time for a possible solution.
