In this classic study, Sidney Fine portrays the dramatic events of
the 1936-37 Flint Sit-down Strike against General Motors, which
catapulted the UAW into prominence and touched off a wave of
sit-down strikes across the United States. Basing his account on an
impressive variety of manuscript sources, Fine analyzes the
strategy and tactics of GM and the UAW, describes the life of the
workers in the occupied plants, and examines the troubled
governmental and public reaction to the alleged breakdown of law
and order in the strikes. In addition, Fine provides vivid
portraits of the major figures on both sides of the conflict:
Governor Frank Murphy, Alfred Sloan, Jr., William Knudsen, Robert
Travis, Roy, Victor, and Walter Reuther, Homer Martin, and Wyndham
Mortimer. The GM sit-down strike marks the close of one era of
labor-management relations in the United States and the beginning
of another. A half century after its initial publication, Fine's
work remains the definitive account of that momentous conflict. A
new foreword by Kim Moody's revisits Sit-Down in order to
demonstrate its continued relevance to today's unions, workers, and
activists.
