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.

The UAW, founded in 1935, also demanded improved working conditions and job security for GM autoworkers.
