General Motors Co. on Oct. 7 said it idled part of its propulsion plant in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico, because of a parts shortage amid United Auto Workers strike in the U.S.
The strike has now entered its fourth week.
The plant's V8 engine line and CVT transmission line are not operating as approximately 415 of the plant's 2,100 workers were temporarily laid off, a GM spokesperson confirmed in an email.
The spokesperson said the company is not disclosing the amount of money or production lost since the strike began. Analysts previously estimated that GM could be losing up to $100 million per day due to the strike.
The new round of temporary layoffs adds to the approximately 10,000 non-UAW workers furloughed in North America, according to CNBC.
The UAW has also rejected GM's latest proposal, saying the new offer was similar to the one previously rejected.
Approximately 48,000 of GM's UAW-represented workers went on strike Sept. 16 after the two parties failed to reach an agreement on a new contract.
