UAW and GM Start Private Probe Sessions in Detroit
In a news blackout, the United Auto Workers and General Motors begin private probing sessions as the 47 day strike enters a new phase. Federal mediator J Curtis Counts meets with both sides, saying movement toward a national contract is possible but not guaranteed. About 400,000 GM workers are idle, costing roughly 164 million dollars daily in lost sales and wages. Major sticking points include wages, retirement, and cost of living protections, with GM offering 38 cents and the union seeking 61.5 cents an hour rise.
