LOCKPORT, N.Y. — The domino effect of the United Auto Workers strike has officially reached Western New York. According to UAW Assistant Director Ray Jensen, 47 Lockport General Motors employees were temporarily laid off. These employees will receive strike pay and will be able to collect unemployment benefits. Jensen says due to the Lockport plant's connection with the plant in Wentzville, Missouri, production has been impacted. Union-represented workers at the GM plant in Wentzville were among the first groups to be selected to strike in September.
