Contract talks between General Motors and the United Auto Workers were set to resume Tuesday as a strike by more than 49,000 employees extended into a second day.
Negotiators took a break from bargaining around 9 p.m. Monday but were to be back at the tables on Tuesday.
“They are talking, they’ve made progress, we’ll see how long it takes,” Brian Rothenberg, spokesman for the UAW, said Tuesday.
President Donald Trump says he hopes the union strike against General Motors is a "quick one" and that both sides work things out.
Workers shut down 33 manufacturing plants in nine states across the U.S., as well as 22 parts distribution warehouses, such as the one in Reno.
More than 49,000 members of the United Auto Workers went on strike Monday against the car giant due to a dispute over a new four-year contract, bringing more than 50 factories and parts warehouses to a standstill.
It's the union's first walkout against the No. 1 U.S. automaker in over a decade.
