General Motors made its sixth contract offer to the United Auto Workers (UAW) as the union continues its strike against all three Detroit-area automakers.
“We can confirm that we provided a counteroffer to the UAW’s most recent proposal – our sixth since the start of negotiations,” a GM spokesman said in a statement to SMU on Thursday.
“We believe we have a compelling offer that would reward our team members and allow GM to succeed and thrive into the future,” he added.
Further details of the offer were not disclosed. However, a source familiar with the talks said there had been movement in a “few key areas,” according to an article in Reuters on Thursday.
“We continue to stand ready and willing to negotiate in good faith 24/7 to reach an agreement,” the GM spokesman said.
The strike targeting specific plants of the Detroit 3 began on Sept. 15.
The UAW did not return a request for comment by time of publication.
UAW said on Thursday on X, formerly Twitter, that union president Shawn Fain will be making a Facebook Live announcement on Friday at 2 p.m. ET. In previous Facebook Live events, he has announced expansions of the strike.
