THF273664 / Mounted Police Confront UAW Members at Ford Rouge Gates, December 8, 1937
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company refused to recognize the United Auto Workers labor union. In May 1937, men from Ford's Service Department attacked labor organizers at Ford's Rouge plant, beating several people. Organizers refused to be intimidated. They continued their efforts, and Ford reached an agreement with the UAW in 1941 -- four years after General Motors and Chrysler workers unionized.
