Artifact Overview

In fall 2023, United Auto Workers staged successful strikes against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis -- the union's first simultaneous actions against the Detroit Three. Workers struck for better pay and protection from job losses in the shift to electric vehicles. T-shirts like this were worn by members of UAW Local 600, representing workers at Ford plants in and around Dearborn, Michigan.
