On Tuesday, the United Auto Workers union took swift action by broadening its strike against General Motors to encompass a highly profitable full-size SUV facility in Texas.

This move was in direct response to the automaker’s robust financial performance and record-breaking third-quarter revenue.

The escalation of the strike on Tuesday affected approximately 5,000 employees at GM’s Arlington Assembly plant, CNBC reported.

This facility is responsible for manufacturing an array of vehicles, including the Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban SUVs.

Interestingly, this walkout occurred shortly after General Motors had unveiled its third-quarter earnings, which not only met but exceeded the expectations of Wall Street.
