The United Automobile Workers (UAW).
The sit-down strike at General Motors’ Flint plant in December 1936 led to a significant victory for the United Auto Workers (UAW) and marked a turning point in labor relations in the United States. The strike effectively halted production and garnered widespread public support, ultimately forcing GM to recognize the UAW as the legitimate bargaining representative for its workers. As a result, the union secured better wages, improved working conditions, and the right to organize, influencing labor movements across the country. This event also paved the way for the expansion of labor rights and unionization efforts in various industries.

In 1997, auto workers at the General Motors plant in Flint, Michigan, initiated a strike primarily over issues related to job security, wages, and working conditions. The strike was significant as it highlighted the growing tensions between labor unions and automakers during a period of economic challenges in the industry. It lasted for several weeks and garnered national attention, ultimately leading to negotiations that aimed to address the workers' concerns. This labor action underscored the importance of collective bargaining in the auto industry and its impact on workers' rights.
Before General Robert E. Lee's last words "Strike the tent," he reportedly said, "You can tell General Longstreet that I have been a good soldier." This statement reflects his steadfast commitment and duty to his role, even in the face of impending defeat. The phrase "Strike the tent" signifies a finality, marking the end of the Confederate Army's campaign and the retreat from their positions.
