UAW Strike at Dauch, GM Fort Wayne's Axle Clock

The UAW has filed an unfair labor practice strike against Dauch, a tier-one axle supplier serving GM's Fort Wayne Assembly plant. GM Fort Wayne typically maintains days of axle buffer inventory, not weeks, and the plant has already gone idle twice over axle supply disruptions, in 2023 and 2024. If you're in that supply chain, this is an active production risk requiring immediate inventory and scheduling review. It is not a watch-and-wait situation.
