This talk is about
the Flint, Michigan,Âsit down strikes. These
were the spectacular strikes of the 20th Century. Instead of
the workers walking out, the bosses had to leave the factory. The workers
converted the factories into fortresses which they lived in and held for a
month until General Motors recognized the union. Jimâs mother was among
the group of women who took long poles to break out the windows to let the tear
gas out.
