DETROIT (Reuters) - The current four-year hourly worker labor contract between General Motors Co (N:GM) and the United Auto Workers union was extended on Monday night beyond its midnight expiration, the company said.
The UAW has chosen to focus on talks with Fiat Chrysler (NYSE:FCAU) Automobiles (N:FCAU) (MI:FCHA) to reach the first deal among the three Detroit automakers with UAW-represented workers.
"We will continue working with our UAW partners on issues we can resolve before they turn their focus to GM," a GM statement said.
Earlier on Monday, Ford Motor Co (N:F) and the UAW extended the Ford pact.
