Larry Schramm Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Those pictures are not from the Buick plant. They are from the Fisher Body Plant 1 on S. Saginaw Street in Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDMSTER Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Not being a labor historian,I'd say these photos might well be from the famous forty day "sit down" strike. Things look a little too casual otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OLBUICKS Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Back in the 50s and 60s my dad would buy a new Pontiac every two years on a coal miners pay in WV, with a stay home mom and house payments and 4 kids. Now every thing is based on a two income family and no one can afford much as they did back them... That = recession.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The pictures are the same that I have seen from the sit down strike. That was before the union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
