(Updates with statement from Dauch in the sixth paragraph).
The United Auto Workers has called a strike at a Michigan factory owned by Dauch (DCH), a supplier of axles and driveline components for General Motors (GM) pickup trucks.
The union said that about 1,000 unionized workers at the Michigan plant were set to walk off the job at midnight Sunday after contract talks failed to produce an agreement.
The UAW said it is seeking higher wages as workers accepted significant pay cuts to help keep the plant operating during the 2008 financial crisis.
According to the union, top wages at the facility currently reach $22 per hour after a five-year progression, compared with as much as $29 per hour in 2008.
General Motors said in an emailed statement Monday that it is "closely monitoring" the labor dispute at Dauch's Three Rivers plant and assessing any potential impact on its operations.
In a statement released on the London Stock Exchange, Dauch confirmed that it had not yet agreed on the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement with the union.
