big truck vehicles for the 1999 model year. G-M pulled the dies out of
Metal Fab before the walkout and shipped them down to Ohio in an effort
to keep the line moving. But, Ohio union members refused the work.

arbitration hearing on the legality of the strikes wrapped up, G-M and
the Union agreed that the dies would be brought back to Flint.
