UPDATED 10/1/15: UAW Local 2488 members have canceled a strike authorization vote against Mitsubishi Motors. This story will be updated.
Less than two months before production is supposed to end at the Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Union officials have scheduled a strike authorization vote. That doesn't mean a walkout will happen. But, as the contract is set to expire tomorrow night, negotiators have apparently reached an impasse on issues.
The pact has been extended twice past its original expiration in late August.
A local task force is trying to help the company find a buyer for the plant as Mitsubishi sends production of the Outlander Sport overseas. The plant employs 1,200 people.
