The United Auto Workers union said on Friday that it had countered General Motors' latest offer and "if GM accepts and agrees to this group of proposals, we will have a tentative agreement."

The union approved the occasional use of temporary workers by U.S. automakers during the last contract talks in 2015, when the two sides agreed to gradually phase out the existing two-tier wage structure. Temp workers, who typically make less than $20 an hour and have limited benefits, account for about 7% of its U.S. workforce. GM says it can reduce labor costs and safeguard union jobs by using more temporary workers. The use of temporary workers also allows the Detroit automakers to cover for high rates of absenteeism among UAW workers. The companies want the UAW to agree to stricter rules to discourage workers from failing to show up for their shifts.
