For nine decades, the UAW has been at the forefront of the labor movement, winning historic gains for working people and standing at the center of major struggles for civil rights, social justice, and economic fairness.
As we celebrate our 90th anniversary this week, we highlight the UAW’s proud history of bold action—from the Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936 to the Stand Up Strike of 2023 and beyond.
