The United Auto Workers rejected another offer from General Motors Co. that could have brought the national strike, now in its 16th day, to a close.
The proposal came at 9:45 p.m. Monday, but "did not satisfy your contract demands or needs," Terry Dittes, UAW vice president, wrote in a letter to local union leaders Tuesday. The UAW has submitted a counterproposal and is awaiting GM's response, he said.
