DETROIT -
There's hope among the striking workers outside of American Axle's hulking Detroit factory complex, but along with it come skepticism and fear.The hope stems from General Motors' surprise announcement Thursday that it will throw in $200 million to help end the 10-week walkout, which has crippled production of GM pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. The skepticism and fear come from workers who have spent hours of picket line duty talking about American Axle's quest to cut wages in half in order to match the labor costs of its North American competitors.
