Talks between UAW and GM take 'turn for the worse' - union official

GM made an offer to the union that basically repeated one the UAW had previously rejected, Terry Dittes, the UAW vice president in charge of the GM department, said in a letter to members. The union provided a copy of the letter to Reuters.“We, in this union, could not be more disappointed with General Motors,” Dittes said. “The company has shown an unwillingness to fairly compensate ... the UAW.”

The GM strike began on Sept 16 with its 48,000 UAW members seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of the automaker’s profit and protection of healthcare benefits. The sides have been meeting daily. GM officials previously said the Detroit company’s labour rates are the highest in the industry and it needs the ability to build some vehicles in other markets to keep costs down.

GM also said then it had “solutions” for the Lordstown, Ohio, and Detroit assembly plants that it had previously said would cease making vehicles. Sources said at the time those plans included a battery plant in Ohio and building an electric truck in Detroit.
