About National White Shirt Day
It honors the workers who participated in the Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936 and 1937.
In the face of anti-union sentiment, brutal working conditions, and low wages, men and women working for General Motors came together to orchestrate a historic sit-in, where they occupied the Flint factory and demanded a seat at the bargaining table with GM, and won that right.
