Into the New Year, the Flint police tried to stop a food delivery to the encamped workers on January 11th 1937 and a battle for the gates of the plant ensued. After both sides sustained injuries, the workers maintained control of the plant. Later that month, a judge ordered the workers out, but the union uncovered that he held more than $150,000 in GM stock.<\/p>\n<p>The great sit-down strike would end the following month in victory for the UAW which gained recognition and soaring membership numbers as a result going to show that a good old-fashioned sit-down strike beats a corporate bailout anyday.<\/p>\n<p><em>For Uprising, this is your truth professa&#8217; saying it&#8217;s no mystery why they conceal our history!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program The GM Sit-Down Strike of 1936-1937 by Subversive Historian Gabriel San Roman Seventy-two years ago on this day in people\u2019s history, General Motor autoworkers began a sit-down strike.
