One hour to go: Chrysler, UAW push the deadline

Detroit -- With an hour left before the UAW-imposed deadline to have a new labor agreement with Chrysler, the automaker and union kept negotiating this morning, pushing through with talks that have lasted approximately 24 hours straight, according to the Detroit Free Press.

UAW President Ron Gettelfinger Monday told his members that if “unless we have achieved the basis for a tentative agreement” by 11 a.m. today the union “will be left with no choice but to commence a strike at all UAW Chrysler facilities.”

Tom LaSorda, a Chrysler president and vice chairman, is leading the automaker’s negotiations with Gettelfinger at the Chrysler’s Auburn Hills headquarters.
