General Motors Forced To Close
Six Plants Because of Strikes
Detroit (U.R) General Mo
tors Corp today closed six plants,
employing nearly 23,000 work
ers, because wildcat strikes have
caused material shortage in the
plants.
It was the second time the
strikes, which began shortly be
fore the company reached a new
contract agreement with the
CIO United Auto Workers early
this week, had forced the com
pany to close some of its plants.
A week ago GM halted opera
tions in 20 Chevrolet plants and
sent 60,000 workers home be
cause of material shortages.
The strikes which caused the
original shutdown were staged
by the workers to show the
company the union meant busi
ness in its demands for a guaran
teed wage in the new contract.
The wage guarantee was grant
ed but some of the strikers re
mained off the job in disputes
over local issues. Those strikes
have caused the second shut
down, officials said.
Nine Plants Idle
Latest tabulations showed 25,
300 workers still off the job be
cause of strikes in nine plants
across the nation. But the num
ber of workers idled by strikes
