Workers at the General Motors distribution center in Roanoke and the Stellantis facility in Carrollton were among those who joined the strike last week.
Sunday was day three of walking the picket lines for some United Auto Workers union members in North Texas."We’re fighting for fair wages to end the tier system, cost of living, healthcare," Tommy Carr said.More than 100 workers there are among 5,600 workers across the country to join the second phase of UAW's strike that first started September 15 against GM, Stellantis, and Ford.
"It’s all about our families and they say we’re family to them, so okay, treat us like family then. They’re not treating us like family," Carr said. Thousands of workers at the General Motors plant in Arlington are on standby as the United Auto Workers strike gets underway with a phased in approach. But this isn’t the first time the GM workers in Roanoke have gone on strike. Carr recalled they were in the same position four years ago.
