The Great Flint Sitdown Strike Against General Motors 1936-1937: A Pivotal Moment in Labor History Introduction The Great Flint Sitdown Strike against General Motors (GM) in 1936-1937 was a pivotal moment in labor history that highlighted the power of collective bargaining and the resilience of workers in the face of corporate greed. The strike, led by the United Auto Workers (UAW), marked a turning point in the struggle for workers' rights and laid the groundwork for future labor movements. This article will delve into the events leading up to the strike, the key players involved, and the lasting impact of this historic event on the American labor movement. Background In the early 1930s, the automotive industry was booming, and GM was at the forefront of this growth. However, as sales increased, so did the exploitation of workers. Wages were low, working conditions were hazardous, and labor laws were nonexistent or poorly enforced. In response, the UAW was formed to advocate for the rights of autoworkers. The union's first major challenge came when GM closed several factories in Flint, Michigan, leaving thousands of workers without jobs. This move sparked outrage among workers, who felt betrayed by the company they had long trusted. The Strike On February 21, 1936, over 1,5000 workers at GM's Fisher Body Plant in Flint walked off the job, demanding better wages, improved working conditions, and recognition of their newly formed union.

Забастовка под руководством Объединённых работников автомобильной промышленности (UAW) стала поворотным моментом в борьбе за права рабочих и заложила основу для будущих рабочих движений. В этой статье будут подробно рассмотрены события, приведшие к забастовке, ключевые вовлеченные игроки и длительное влияние этого исторического события на американское рабочее движение. Предыстория В начале 1930-х годов автомобильная промышленность переживала бум, и GM оказалась в авангарде этого роста. Однако по мере увеличения продаж росла и эксплуатация рабочих. Заработная плата была низкой, условия труда были опасными, а трудовое законодательство не существовало или плохо соблюдалось. В ответ был сформирован UAW для защиты прав автовладельцев. Первая серьезная проблема профсоюза возникла, когда GM закрыл несколько заводов во Флинте, штат Мичиган, в результате чего тысячи рабочих остались без работы. Этот шаг вызвал возмущение среди работников, которые чувствовали себя преданными компанией, которой они давно доверяли. Забастовка 21 февраля 1936 года более 15000 рабочих на заводе GM Fisher Body во Флинте ушли с работы, требуя улучшения заработной платы, улучшения условий труда и признания своего недавно созданного профсоюза.
The Great Flint tdown Strike Against General Motors 1936-1937: A Pilotic Moment in Labor History Introduction The Great Flint tdown Strike against General Motors (GM) in 1936-1937 was a leaving moment moment in labour history that the power of collective greed. Lo sciopero guidato dalla UAW ha rappresentato un punto di svolta nella lotta per i diritti dei lavoratori e ha gettato le basi per i futuri movimenti operativi. Questo articolo esaminerà in dettaglio gli eventi che hanno portato allo sciopero, i principali attori coinvolti e l'impatto duraturo di questo evento storico sul movimento operaio americano. All'inizio degli annì 30, l'industria automobilistica stava vivendo un boom, e GM è stata all'avanguardia in questa crescita. Tuttavia, le vendite sono aumentate anche con l'utilizzo dei lavoratori. I salari erano bassi, le condizioni di lavoro erano pericolose e la legge sul lavoro non esisteva o era mal rispettata. La UAW è stata formata per proteggere i diritti dei proprietari di auto. Il primo grave problema sindacale è emerso quando la GM ha chiuso diversi stabilimenti a Flint, Michigan, e migliaia di lavoratori sono rimasti senza lavoro. Questa mossa ha suscitato indignazione tra i lavoratori che si sentivano traditi da un'azienda di cui si fidavano da tempo. Lo sciopero del 21 febbraio 1936 di oltre 15000 lavoratori nello stabilimento GM Fisher Body di Flint ha lasciato il lavoro chiedendo migliori salari, migliori condizioni di lavoro e il riconoscimento del proprio sindacato appena creato.
