Daylong negotiations between the United Auto Workers and auto parts maker American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. were held Saturday, the 12th day of a strike that has affected dozens of factories in the U.S. and Canada, including several in Ohio.
Company spokeswoman Renee Rogers said talks ended shortly after 8 p.m. Bargaining was to resume at 9 a.m. Sunday, she said.
The bargaining came as General Motors Corp. said parts shortages from the strike would force it to shut down part or all of 28 assembly and components factories. On Friday, GM added 17 components plants to the growing list and said on its Web site that the affected plants employ more than 37,000 hourly workers.
