Family members put their bodies on the line, forming a human shield around the plants to protect the strikers from violence and delivering food to the plants. They fought, and they won: higher wages, improved working conditions and better benefits \u2014 the opportunity to build a brighter future for their families.<\/span><\/p>\n Within a year of that strike that ended in 1937, the UAW grew from 30,000 to 500,000 members strong, and autoworker wages increased by as much as 300%.<\/span><\/p>\n Michigan didn\u2019t just put the world on wheels. The courageous sacrifices these auto workers made 88 years ago changed the course of the labor movement \u2014 igniting a rallying cry for millions of workers around the country, ushering in a wave of intense union activity and ultimately unleashing the power of the middle class.<\/span><\/p>\n Senate Democrats joined together, wearing white shirts to serve as a reminder that \u2014 no matter the color of your collar, job duty or title \u2014 all workers deserve dignity, and there is dignity in all work.<\/span><\/p>\n This week, we remember and honor those trailblazers whose heroic actions paved this pathway for progress in Michigan and nationwide. We are proud that their history is our history. And I am proud to continue to stand with working people in the Michigan state legislature, advocating for strong livable wages, the best earned paid sick time law possible, paid family leave, and making things more affordable for Michiganders.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/senatedems.com\/chang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/01\/EnewsHeaders_News-Resources.png” alt=”Helpful News and Resources” title_text=”EnewsHeaders_News & Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Need Help Filing Your Taxes?
