GM strike day 27: General Motors reviewing union proposal

Source: The Detroit News

General Motors Co. is reviewing a counterproposal this morning that the United Auto Workers submitted to the Detroit automaker on Friday night.

The union's proposal is a counter to the offer GM made on Monday.

The offer included "all of your outstanding proposals that are at the main table and unsettled," UAW Vice President Terry Dittes wrote in a letter to local union leaders Friday. If GM accepts, "we will have a Tentative Agreement," he wrote.

Dittes said union representatives would work through the weekend in hopes of reaching a settlement to end a nationwide strike by 46,000 workers that is nearing the one month mark. His letter did not disclose any of the proposal's terms.
