United Auto Workers (UAW) union members picket outside the General Motors Flint Metal plant in Flint, Michigan September 25, 2007. The 2-day-old nationwide strike against General Motors Corp by the UAW union was already being felt across borders on Tuesday, threatening production in Mexico and shutting down Canadian plants, as both sides resumed bargaining. The strike began on Monday after 10 weeks of contract talks seen as crucial to GM's survival as it restructures money-losing U.S. operations and tries to free itself from a health-care obligation of more than $50 billion.

Relatives of Leandro Hernandez stand near his coffin during a funeral in Ciudad del Carmen in Mexico's state of Campeche October 25, 2007. Hernandez died after a fierce storm stranded dozens of Mexican oil workers in rough waters on Tuesday after they fled a drilling platform damaged by 25-foot (8-metre) waves. Mexican navy rescue teams scoured rough seas in helicopters and boats on Thursday for four missing oil workers who leapt off an offshore drilling platform damaged in a powerful storm that left 19 dead.
