Chrysler, UAW talks intensify as strike deadline looms

DETROIT - With just over a day remaining until a strike deadline, representatives of the United Auto Workers union and Chrysler LLC bargained into Tuesday morning in a bid to reach a new contract for some 49,000 U.S. factory workers, according to Reuters.

The union has given Chrysler a deadline of 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday and threatened to call the second national strike against a U.S. automaker in less than a month if a new deal on wages and benefits is not reached by then.
