General Motors strike hits US economy

Available for over a year

A strike by 50,000 workers at General Motors is now in its third week and putting a huge dent in the company's revenues. And as China kills loses more than a million pigs because of swine fever, a new market opens for American pork producers. Plus, we hear from Canada where voters have been watching a live debate between six leaders of political parties. We discuss all this with Jyoti Malhotra, an editor at The Print website in Delhi, and Professor Peter Morici from the University of Maryland who's in Washington DC.
