On Tuesday, the union announced that employees at GM’s Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas had joined the strike, just hours after the automaker reported estimate-beating quarterly results.
With this recent walkout, the total number of autoworkers involved in the strike against Detroit’s Big Three has exceeded 45,000 — about 30% of the union’s members in those companies — across 47 locations, which include both assembly plants and distribution centers.
Where Is The UAW Striking?
Here’s a map showing all centers where the union’s workers have walked out (last updated Oct. 24):

Why It Matters
The UAW has adopted a phased approach to striking, choosing specific locals to engage in work stoppages when necessary, rather than stage a walkout across all locations.
The strike has definitely affected business. GM already said the disruptions are costing it $200 million a week in lost production, while JPMorgan has estimated that Ford is losing $44 million a day. And yes, there have been some layoffs.
“Another record quarter, another record year. As we’ve said for months: record profits equal record contracts,” said UAW President Shawn Fain in a statement on Tuesday. “It's time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share.”
