Today on Past Gas, the story of how a fearless group of women helped organize workers to defeat one of the largest companies in the world– General Motors. GM once ruled the town of Flint with an iron fist, but employees were fed up with perilous conditions and low pay. The workers took to the streets, but protests quickly turned violent. What were the dangers involved? How did the workers get GM to bend? And how did one strike change the course of automotive history? You gotta listen to James, Nolan, and Joe to find out.

JOE!!! Close. Your. Mouth. Lol
UAW 249 ✊🏼
You think unions are good. I agree but man you should see my work place the union literally couldn't drag us through the mud more.
Factory Worker Father Carl a great cartoon name
Does he mean upper decker? When he says top shelf?
Donut Media. They’re car guys, not money guys. 🤣
What a cool story! Genora Johnson and the governor who sided with the union are true heros! I'd love to see things like this happen nowadays.
Socialism then
“I just built 88 cars in one hour getting paid 2¢ this isn’t fair”
Socialism now
“I’ve been standing at a register on my phone and Im only making $15 an hour the system is broken”
You guys should research a little more and you will see that unions were the force behind:
-standard work week
-fair wages curbing sexism/racism in workplaces
-workplace safety
-emergance of the middle class
Non unionized workplaces also reap these benefits when employers fear formation of a union
joe is so boring
