About 1,500 electrical workers at Philips Display Components Co. in Ottawa, Ohio, went on strike after rejecting a three-year contract proposal. The employees, members of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1654, voted to strike despite a recommendation from union leadership earlier that they approve the tentative agreement. … General Motors Corp. agreed to add 118 full-time, permanent workers at its Inland Fisher Guide parts plant in Flint, Mich., to avert a strike.
