01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company, and Henry Ford in particular, long refused to recognize the United Auto Workers labor union. General Motors and Chrysler unionized in 1937, but Ford stubbornly held out against workers' wishes. Finally, Ford agreed to a National Labor Relations Board vote on unionization held May 21, 1941. Seventy percent of Ford's employees voted in favor of the UAW.
