But the plants that are on strike could affect GM’s US operations, because its engines and transmissions are used in vehicles built here. GM already is dealing with a strike by the United Auto Workers union at two of its US assembly plants and a strike of 18 parts distribution centers across 20 states. The UAW is also on strike against plants at GM rivals Ford and Stellantis, which builds cars under the Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler names. GM had already disclosed that it lost $200 million in the first two weeks of the UAW strike, which began on September 15. The UAW remained on strike at the GM plants where its members had already walked out.
