Following the continuation of the American Axle strike that has been occurring for two months now, The Detroit News is reporting that the UAW "repeatedly rejected economic proposals that were considerably higher than the market rate", rejecting the more-than generous wage proposals to help continue the strike. American Axle has not released any details about those rejected economic proposals, but did note that the latest offer given was "nearly double the market rate" of $30 per hour.

General Motors' production line will resume at its Hamtramck factory on Monday morning. This comes nearly a month after it was shut down, due to the strike and a short supply of parts. Nearly two dozen plants have been shut down or are experiencing slow production due to the American Axle strike, which began February 26th of this year.
