Over the weekend, the UAW completed presentation of its contract demands at GM and Chrysler. Details of the UAW wage demands were not made public. The current average hourly wage for UA W-represented auto workers is $4 02, with fringe benefits averaging an additional $1.75 hourly, according to company estimates.

Irving Bluestone, codirector of the union's GM department, said Monday there had been no indication whether or when GM might make a revised offer. GM's chief negotiator, Earl Bramblett, indicated when the original offer was made that a second Offer might be forthcoming later. Bluestone said: "If we are going to have a bargaining posture in which we can negotiate to a settlement rather than a strike, we would anticipate another offer." In addition to reaching agreement on a national contract, negotiators for the union and the companies must also settle thousands of local plant issues. I wider.
