Today in history
On this day in 1936, in one of the first sit-down strikes in the United States, autoworkers occupied the General Motors Fisher Body Plant Number One in Flint, Mich.
The autoworkers were striking to win recognition of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as the only bargaining agent for GM’s workers.
