“Since the last update, we have made good progress regarding the issues of health care and a path for temporary employees becoming seniority members,” Terry Dittes, the vice president and director of the UAW’s General Motors Department said in a statement.

Talks are expected to continue over the weekend after the UAW rejected an offer from the automaker on Monday.

Workers received their last full paycheck on Sept. 20.
