Union Recruiting Poster, "Unionism not Fordism, Now is the Time to Organize!," 1935-1936
Add to SetSummary
This broadside refers to the 1935 Wagner Act, which guaranteed workers the right to organize unions, and to strike, boycott and picket their employers. The United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union, founded 1935, succeeded in unionizing General Motors and Chrysler within two years. The UAW's next target became Ford Motor Company, which had long resisted unionization. It ultimately succeeded in 1941.
