DETROIT -- The UAW has called a Thursday morning meeting of its national General Motors council as negotiations continue amid a nearly month-long strike against Detroit's largest automaker.
In an email sent Monday, the union called local presidents to Detroit for a meeting regarding a "contract update" and other yet-to-be-determined agenda items.
The council is typically called to discuss a tentative agreement once one is reached before taking it to rank and file for a nation-wide vote. But as of Monday evening the two sides had not yet reached a tentative agreement and continued to negotiate, according to people familiar with the talks.
The meeting would offer the union's leaders a chance to provide a face-to-face update on negotiations with local presidents as the work stoppage enters its fifth week.
Spokesmen for the UAW and GM declined to comment.
The two sides last week traded jabs in public comments that accused each other of stalling the talks. GM submitted its most recent proposal to the union last week, which included a commitment to invest $7.7 billion in U.S. plants, a person with knowledge of the talks told Automotive News. The union presented its counterproposal on Friday, but has declined to provide details.
GM has not commented on the UAW counteroffer.
