UAW sets Wednesday strike deadline

The UAW has set a Wednesday strike deadline in talks with Chrysler on a new four-year contract, people close to the negotiations told the New York Times late Sunday night. The two sides talked throughout the weekend after the union pushed to intensify discussions late last week, choosing Chrysler to go second in national contract talks after GM. The United Auto Workers and GM reached a tentative contract agreement on Sept. 26 after a two-day strike. GM workers are to finish voting on the deal Wednesday. Detroit Free Press
