(KOKOMO) - Delphi Electronics says the continuing strike at American Axle & Manufacturing will cause a temporary layoff of 70 hourly workers at the company’s Kokomo operations effective Monday.

The new layoffs follow the permanent layoffs of 130 workers in two waves, one in November and one in January.

A strike by the UAW against American Axle is now in its second week, and has already idled at least seven general motors assembly plants, with four more plants expected to be idled Monday if the strike continues.

Production workers in Kokomo assemble a variety of parts for the company, including engine control electronics, airbag electronics, sensors and integrated circuits.
