UAW calls Thursday meeting to update union leaders on GM strike talks - sources
The union representing the 48,000 workers who have been striking General Motors Co for about a month have scheduled a meeting on Thursday to update the leaders of the various union locals from around the country on the status of the talks, several people familiar with the plans said on Monday. The sides have not reached a tentative agreement that would end the strike, but progress has been made and the United Auto Workers leadership will give an update at 10:30 a.m. ET (1430 GMT) on Thursday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks continue. The meeting will take place in the Detroit building where GM is based, the people said.

Wages, pensions, plant investments still issues in GM strike
With the strike by factory workers against General Motors in its 29th day, there are signs that negotiators may be moving toward an agreement. "The fact that they're not name-calling anymore, at least for now, they've stayed a little later at least," said Art Schwartz, a former GM negotiator who now runs a labor consulting business in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Late Monday, the union summoned its General Motors Council, a group of factory-level union officials, to a meeting in Detroit on Thursday.

UAW boosts strike pay as GM walkout continues
The United Auto Workers union said Saturday it will boost strike pay for 48,000 hourly workers at General Motors Co by $25 a week to $275 (218.50 pounds) as a strike against the largest U.S. automaker nears the end of its fourth week. Talks were continuing late Saturday afternoon to try to resolve the longest nationwide strike at GM since 1970, both sides said. The UAW also said it would allow members striking to take on part-time jobs without reducing their strike pay – as long as they perform picket-line duties.

Mexican motor city 'getting desperate' as GM's U.S. strike takes heavy toll
Half a continent away from the auto plants of Detroit, U.S. strikes at General Motors (GM) have sent shivers through the central Mexican city of Silao, where the local GM factory furloughed 6,000 workers last week when parts from the United States ran out. Rich or poor, residents are anxiously hoping the labour dispute will end so the company reopens the plant, which has been an anchor of the local economy since GM arrived a generation ago, transforming the landscape forever. "General Motors is the biggest source of income here.

GM appeals directly to employees as strike losses mount, riling UAW
While emphasizing GM's commitment to the collective bargaining process, the letter, signed by Gerald Johnson, executive vice-president for global manufacturing, circumvents United Auto Workers (UAW) leadership and points to frustration at a lack of progress on ending a conflict that has already cost the company more than $1 billion (789.5 million pounds). The UAW strike began on Sept. 16, with the union's 48,000 members at GM seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of profit and protection of healthcare benefits. Credit Suisse estimated the loss could hit about $1.5 billion, and the Center for Automotive Research estimated the weekly costs to GM and the UAW strike fund at $450 million and $12 million, respectively.

Lengthy UAW strike at GM to cost $1.5 billion: Credit Suisse
The brokerage has assumed the strike by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, currently in its 26-day, to last until Oct. 21. GM, which likely lost production of about 100,000 vehicles in the third quarter, is at the risk of losing another 170,000 vehicles in the current quarter, the brokerage said, with the impact spreading to some of GM's facilities in Mexico and Canada that receive parts from its U.S. factories. "While investors may look through the one-time impacts...the strike reminds us of the challenge of investing in OEMs at this point in the cycle," analyst Dan Levy wrote in a note.
