Settlement reached in Chrysler gloss plant strike DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler and union workers reached a tentative settlement Saturday that could end a three-day strike at the plant where most of the automaker's windshields and windows are made. Nearly 1,000 members of UAW Local227 went on strike Wednesday at the McGraw Glass Plant, largely over job security. The UAW wanted Chrysler to spend millions of dollars on new technology so the plant would be competitive with independent suppliers and remain in operation. All but two of Chrysler's North American assembly plants rely on McGraw for car and truck windshields and windows. Supplies had begun to dwindle, but no plants had closed and production was not slowed, Chrysler Corp. spokeswoman Nicole Solomon said. High wind may prevent Sunday landing CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
