are part of the strike. The union has yet to call on the more than 5,000 workers at GM’s Arlington assembly plant, where the company’s highly profitable full-size SUVs are made, to walk off the job.The UAW has been using a strike strategy in which leaders call on more workers to join the strike if sufficient progress hasn’t been made at the bargaining table, a tactic the union has said enables greater flexibility.

The company has said the union is taking a “hard line” on the issue and “holding the deal hostage” over it.Stellantis last week was spared from more of its plants joining the strike after it moved on several issues right before new strike targets were announced.
The UAW initially sought a non-compounded wage increase of 40% over the length of the contract. It’s also seeking stronger job security language, elimination of a tiered wage system, restoration of pensions for all workers, the right to strike over plant closures, and other items.
