DETROIT (AP) - General Motors Corp. says it will temporarily shut down three more pickup truck factories due to a strike at a key parts supplier.
GM spokesman Tom Wickham says the factories in Flint; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Oshawa, Ontario, will close at the end of the second shift on Friday night.
The closures are in addition to the idling of a pickup truck factory in Pontiac on Thursday. All the plants make the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-sized pickups.
It is all due to a strike against parts supplier American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. The Detroit-based company makes axles for the trucks.
