The United Auto Workers union has turned up the heat on General Motors as 5,000 workers walked off their jobs Tuesday at a highly profitable SUV factory in Arlington, Texas.
General Motorsmembers that have walked off their jobs to 46,000 in a series of strikes that is in its entering its sixth week.
The move came just hours after GM announced quarterly earnings, and four days after Fain said GM’s latest offer wasn’t large enough.for the quarter, down 7% from a year ago. But the company reported strong revenue as well as high demand and prices for its vehicles. Fain said in a statement that GM beat Wall Street expectations, and its offer lags behind Ford, preserving a two-tier wage structure and offering the weakest 401 contribution of all three companies at 8%. “It’s time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share,” Fain said in a statement.
But in a sign that both sides are sticking to their positions, Barra told investors on GM’s earnings conference call Tuesday that the company's record offer rewards employees and doesn’t put the company or UAW jobs at risk. “Accepting unsustainably high costs would put our future and GM team member jobs at risk, and jeopardizing our future is something I will not do,” she said in a statement.
