A short and powerful reminder of where the American labor movement came from.
Walter Reuther speaks directly to the next generation about the early days of the UAW—when autoworkers in Flint were beaten, threatened, intimidated, and even shot at for daring to organize.
In this clip, Reuther explains how solidarity, unity, and courage defeated corporate intimidation and built the middle class.
A message every young worker should hear today.
“When men and women are united in common purpose, there is no power in the world that can stop the forward march of free people.” — Walter Reuther
