The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike has now reached General Motors Co.’s Arlington, Texas, truck plant, which is the company’s largest and most profitable facility. With 5,000 workers joining the strike, the action comes shortly after GM reported its third-quarter earnings and withdrew its guidance due to the uncertainty caused by the ongoing strike. The Arlington plant is responsible for manufacturing high-margin large SUVs such as the Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade, which have been popular among U.S. consumers for years. In addition to the strike at GM, the UAW has also called for a strike at Stellantis NV’s largest plant, which produces Ram trucks. As a result of the strike news, GM stock turned lower after initially experiencing a rise of over 1% following the earnings beat.
