After the Flint “Sit Down Strike” in December of 1936, the newly organized UAW members went on strike at Saginaw Steering Gear in February 1937.

The strike only lasted a few hours, but a new contract was signed, and the workers of Saginaw were represented by the newly formed United Auto Workers union.
