General Motors temporarily stopped production of its Chevy Blazer Friday, a spokesperson confirmed with FOX 47 News.

Blazer production at the automaker's Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico has been interrupted as a result of a part shortage from the month-old United Auto Workers strike.

Voting is slated to begin Saturday for rank-and-file UAW-GM members .
