closeDALLAS -- Negotiators for American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings and striking United Auto Workers made progress in weekend bargaining, but a company spokeswoman would not say if they are close to reaching a deal.
About 3,600 American Axle workers have been on strike for 11 weeks in a bitter dispute over the company's demand to cut wages and benefits to match those paid buy U.S. competitors. An American Axle spokeswoman said both sides talked all day Sunday and "a lot of progress was made." She would not discuss details of the talks, which she said continued Monday.
