Contract talks aimed at ending a 21-day strike by the United Auto Workers against General Motors hit a big snag over product commitments for U.S. factories, a union official says.

The company’s proposal did nothing to address a host of items, Dittes wrote, specifying job security for members during the term of the four-year contract. In a statement, GM said it continues to negotiate in good faith “with very good proposals that benefit employees today and builds a stronger future for all of us.”But Dittes wrote that while both sides had made progress on important issues two days ago, the talks now “have taken a turn for the worse.”
