DETROIT (AP) The Latest on labor strife at General Motors factories (all times local):
4:55 p.m.
Contract talks between the United Auto Workers union and General Motors broke off Sunday and havent resumed, meaning the unions first national strike since 2007 is very likely.
GMs 49,200 UAW members are scheduled to go on strike at 11:59 p.m. unless an agreement is reached on a new four-year contract. But UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg says both sides are so far apart that he expects to go on strike.
The union represents workers at 33 manufacturing sites and 20 parts warehouses nationwide.
GM says it has made substantial offers, but union officials say theyre far apart on wages, health care, use of temporary workers and other major items.

We labor folks have seen this story before. Until the Temp thing is controlled,nothing changes only gets worse.
