Aerial View of Rouge Plant Showing UAW Activists, December 23, 1937
01
Artifact Overview
The struggle to unionize Ford Motor Company workers was long and--at times--violent. This aerial photograph shows a United Auto Workers (UAW) demonstration at Ford's Rouge Plant in December 1937. Three and a half years later, following a turbulent ten-day strike in April 1941, Ford became the last major automotive manufacturer to recognize the UAW and agree to a union contract.
