UAW, GM set to resume contract talks on Monday - union

WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers union and General Motors Co are set to resume contract talks at 10 a.m. EDT on Monday, hours after the union is set to go on strike, a union spokesman said.

The UAW said earlier on Sunday its roughly 48,000 hourly workers at GM facilities would go on strike as of midnight on Sunday after U.S. labor contract talks reached an impasse, the first nationwide strike at GM in 12 years.
