Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the 2021 Midland Authors Book Award in HistoryIn a time of great inequality and a gutted middle class, the dramatic story of the strike heard around the world is a testament to what workers can gain when they stand up for their rights.The tumultuous Flint sit-down strike of 1936-1937 was the birth of the United Auto Workers, which set the standard for wages in every industry. Midnight in Vehicle City tells the gripping story of how workers defeated General Motors, the largest industrial corporation in the world. Their victory ushered in the golden age of the American middle class and created a new kind of America, one in which every worker had a right to a share of the companys wealth. The causes for which the strikers sat downcollective bargaining, secure retirement, better wagesenjoyed a half century of success. But now, the middle class is disappearing and economic inequality is at its highest since before the New Deal.Journalist and historian Edward McClelland brings the action-packed events of the strike back to lifethrough the voices of those who lived it. In vivid play-by-plays, McClelland narrates the dramatic scenes including of the takeovers of GM plants; violent showdowns between picketers and the police; Michigan governor Frank Murphys activation of the National Guard; the actions of the militaristic Womens Emergency Brigade who carried billy clubs and vowed to protect strikers from police; and tense negotiations between labor leader John L. Lewis, GM chairman Alfred P. Sloan, and labor secretary Frances Perkins.The epic tale of the strike and its lasting legacy shows why the middle class is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century and will guide our understanding of what we will lose if we dont revive it. "The story of the forty-four-day Flint Sit Down Strike of 1936-37, which led to the recognition of the United Auto Workers, the union whose wages and benefits set the standard for the 20th Century American middle class"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
