WARREN, Mich., Oct. 25 (UPI) — The United Auto Workers informed General Motors it will terminate its contract at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, effectively setting a deadline for the first auto workers’ strike in eight years.
The move is seen as a strategic tactic to keep GM and the UAW on task in the talks for a new four-year contract. If a strike does happen, it would be the first in the auto industry since 2007. The Detroit-based company said it is “working with [the UAW] to address the issues and remain committed to obtaining an agreement that is good for employees and the business.”
