Ford Motor Company Strike

Following the successful sit-down strike at Kansas City's Fisher Body plant and other factories owned by General Motors in 1936-1937, the United Auto Workers stage another strike at Ford Motor Company’s Kansas City plant, the first ever sit-down strike at a Ford facility. After the National Labor Relations Board orders Ford to rehire and repay workers a total of $2.5 million in back pay, Ford finally recognizes the UAW in 1941.
