6,000 are ready to return to work

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Pat Sheen  
With the 12-week-long American Axle Holdings strike now over, idled Indiana autoworkers could be recalled in about two weeks, a General Motors official estimated Friday.

More than a dozen Indiana factories supplying General Motors laid off about 6,000 workers as strikebound American Axle deprived GM of axles, leading it to cancel assembly of about 330,000 cars and trucks. GM officials estimated the axle strike and short strikes this year at its own plants have cost it $2.6 billion in pretax profits.
