Contract talks between General Motors Co. and the United Auto
Workers labor union stalled Sunday morning after making some
progress heading into the weekend with new-hire pay, job security
and other issues still in contention.
In a Sunday letter to union members, Terry Dittes, the UAW's top
bargainer for GM, said talks with the company had taken "a turn for
the worse" in part because GM reverted back to a previously
rejected proposal with only minor changes.
"The company's response did nothing to advance a whole host of
issues that are important to you and your families!," Mr. Dittes
wrote in the letter. "It did nothing to provide job security during
the term of this agreement."
A GM spokesman said "We continue to negotiate in good faith with
very good proposals that benefit employees today and builds a
stronger future for all of us. We are committed to continuing
discussions around the clock to reach a resolution."
