CNN —The United Auto Workers union took its most serious shot yet at General Motors in its five-week old strike as 5,000 members walked off the job at a plant in Texas.
Arlington Assembly builds GM’s very profitable full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.
The targeted strike at GM’s largest plant comes just hours after the company reported third quarter earnings, which grew last quarter despite the strike.
It’s time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share,” said UAW President Shawn Fain.
“GM’s latest offer fails to reward UAW members for the profits they’ve generated,” said the union’s statement.
