Chrysler, UAW Talk As Deadline Nears

DETROIT -- Progress was reported as contract negotiations between the United Auto Workers union and Chrysler LLC extended into Wednesday morning, but several key issues remained unresolved with a strike deadline a few hours away, according to a person who had been briefed on the talks, according to the Associated Press.

Negotiators worked all night at Chrysler's Auburn Hills headquarters, and discussions continued well into the morning, said the person, who asked not to be identified by name because the talks are private.

The UAW set an 11 a.m. deadline for an agreement or have about 49,000 workers leave their jobs at 24 U.S. factories and other sites.
