A General Motors Corp. plant near Lansing that makes the company's hot-selling crossovers was partially shut down Wednesday due to a strike at a supplier, calling into question a planned strike later this week by the GM workers. A GM spokesman said workers at the Delta Township plant only worked half a shift Wednesday morning and a second shift was likely to end early Wednesday evening because of a strike at nearby Alliance Interiors. Alliance Interiors opened in 2006 to supply carpets, acoustic insulation and other products to GM. A message seeking comment was left Wednesday with the company's personnel manager.
