DESCRIPTION:

White T-shirt Day commemorates the first contract signed between the American Auto Worker's Union and General Motors Corporation on February 11, 1937.

"After a six-week sit-down strike by General Motors (GM) autoworkers at the Fisher Body Plant No. 2 in Flint, Michigan, GM president Alfred P. Sloan signs the first union contract in the history of the American auto industry. The strike was organized by the United Auto Workers (UAW), who wanted to be recognized as the sole bargaining authority for employees at GM factories. The UAW, founded in 1935, also demanded improved working conditions and job security for GM autoworkers. At the time of the strike, GM, founded in 1908 by William Durant, had been the world's largest automaker since the early 1930s."
