Visteon Corp. workersOK contract after strike
INDIANAPOLIS -- After a 15-day strike marred by violence, workers at a Visteon Corp. auto parts plant approved a contract Sunday that union leaders say includes wage concessions and a guaranteed limit on job cuts.
Members of the International Union of Electrical Workers at the Bedford plant voted 528-410 to accept the four-year contract, a union official said. About 1,000 union members had been on strike since May 30, when they rejected the previous contract proposal.
Visteon did not divulge terms of the proposal, but the union said it would require the Bedford plant to maintain an employment level of 700. The company announced in April it planned to move between 500 and 600 jobs out of the Bedford plant, citing declining profits.

In Japan, police raid homeof ex-Mitsubishi chief
TOKYO -- Police raided the home today of the former president of Mitsubishi Motors Corp., who was arrested last week on suspicion of hiding auto defects.
Investigators searched Katsuhiko Kawasoe's home in Nagoya, apparently looking for evidence to back up charges related to a cover-up of defects suspected in a 2002 fatal accident.
Kawasoe resigned in disgrace four years ago when the Tokyo-based automaker acknowledged having hidden auto defects for decades.
