A strike walkout planned for 10 am this morning at GM’s Warren, Michigan transmission plant has been avoided thanks to negotiations that lasted all night. Workers at the plant were to go on strike at 10 am this morning if a local agreement between GM and the UAW wasn’t reached. Meantime, the two sides agreed to resume talks on at 10 am on Saturday.

In the meantime, bargaining pertaining to another local strike at GM’s Lansing Delta Township has resumed this morning, but the plant’s 2,300 worker are still picketing, according to Automotive News. The plant assembles GM’s Lambda family of SUVs; Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook.

There were no details reported regarding progress in either strike, and news on the bigger American Axle worker strike, which is making headway, is likewise non-existent.
