In a letter to union officers Saturday evening, a UAW official said the contract with GM would not be extended, but no immediate strike was planned.

Published 8:04 PM EDT Sep 14, 2019DETROIT – With just hours left before the United Auto Workers contract with General Motors expires, UAW leadership told members that"significant differences" remained over key issues and bargaining would continue right up to the 11:59 p.m. EDT Saturday deadline.

In the letter obtained by the Detroit Free Press, Dittes reported"some progress" in negotiations since his last update about nine days ago. Also, the union is bitter over GM's decision announced last fall that it would indefinitely idle four of its U.S. plants. The UAW has vowed to leave no stone unturned in fighting to get new product to build in those plants, which include Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, Detroit-Hamtramck and transmission plants in Warren and Baltimore.
