The United Auto Workers union says it will go on strike at three factories as it presses Detroit companies to come up with better wage and benefit offers. But to the disappointment of many workers, that does not include the Arlington plant.
The United Auto Workers union says it will go on strike at three factories as it presses Detroit companies to come up with better wage and benefit offers. But to the disappointment of many North Texas workers, that does not include the Arlington plant.
Contracts between 150,000 auto workers and the companies are set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. Despite increased offers from Ford and GM, it appears that no deals will be reached before the deadline. UAW Local 276 represents GM workers in Arlington. Its 5,000 members were not called to strike. Many of the workers were visibly upset Thursday night during the announcement because they say if there’s going to be a strike, they wanted to be involved from the beginning."We make the full-size SUV. We know who we are. We know who we are to GM, and we’ve had enough. We want our fair share, and that’s what the angst is about," he said.
"Our customers are absolutely counting on it. They’re counting on all of us," General Motors President Mark Reuss said.UAW chief says offers from auto companies are inadequate, says union is ready to go on strike
