Nearly 45,000 UAW members are now on the picket lines after the union called an additional 5,000 workers to walk off the job at GM's Arlington, Texas assembly plant Tuesday.
A familiar scene played out this morning in Ontario when more than 4,000 auto workers at 3 Canadian GM facilities went on strike at midnight after the expiration of GM’s contract with Unifor.
The UAW's national strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers has entered its second week as over 18,000 of the union's 146,000 autoworkers are striking, and that number could grow if progress is not made soon in talks.
