Hailed as one of the most important
strikes in American history, the 44-day strike in Flint, Michigan, ended
when General Motors recognized the United Auto Workers as the sole
bargaining unit for its workers. Within a year, the UAW saw its
membership grow from 30,000 to 500,000 members. The Flint Sit-down
Strike was, as the British Broadcasting System later noted, "the
strike heard 'round the world."
