The United Auto Workers union expanded its strike against Detroit's Big Three for the second consecutive day as members at a major General Motors manufacturing plant walked off the job. The union said 5,000 employees from the Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas are now on strike. All of GM's full-size internal combustion SUVs are worked on at that facility, including the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade-V.
The union previously ordered a walkout on October 11, when it struck against Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant. Full-size SUVs and pickup trucks are some of the highest-priced and most profitable products that the Big Three make. They are also some of the most popular vehicles among consumers in the U.S. In the early weeks of the labor stoppage, the UAW called on additional workers to go on strike once per week, and gave the automakers more notice about potential strikes.
