MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History December 30, 1936: Auto workers began their historic sit-down strike at the GM Fisher plant in Flint, Michigan. The protest effectively changed the United Automobile Workers (UAW) from a collection of small local unions into a major national labor union. It also led to the unionization of the domestic automobile industry. By occupying the plant, they prevented management from bringing in scabs and keeping the plant running and making money. Furthermore, by occupying the plant, they weren’t forced to picked outside in the snow. On January 11, police armed with guns and tear gas tried to storm the plant. Strikers repeatedly repelled them by throwing hinges, bottles and bolts at them. Fourteen strikers were injured by police gunfire during the strike. In February, GM got an injunction against the union by Judge Edward Black, who owned over three thousand shares of GM. The strikers ignored the injunction. And when the UAW found out about the conflict of interests, they got the judge disbarred. The strike ended after 44 days with GM recognizing the union and giving its workers a 5% raise. Filmmaker Michael Moore’s uncle participated in the strike. The first documented sit-down strike in the U.S. occurred when the IWW engaged in a sit-down strike against General Electric, in Schenectady, NY, in 1909.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uaw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sitdownstrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sitdownstrike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gm</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/generalmotors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>generalmotors</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flint</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>michigan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newyork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>newyork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/generalelectric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>generalelectric</span></a></p>
David Wilkins<p>We now move forward to 1930, and the Vauxhall T-Type, in this case with a Melton golfer’s coupé body from the Grosvenor Carriage Company. By now, Vauxhalls had featured fluted bonnets for a quarter of a century, and the T-Type, like the Prince Henry, was quite an expensive high-end sporty job.
