No Laboring On Labor Day

That’s my motto. Today’s Labor Day post is all about past Small & Big posts that were workin’ it.


My granddad participated in the 1936-37 UAW sit-down strike in Flint, Michigan. (His good buddy, Roscoe Rich, has audio stories here.) Harry crossed lines to bring meals into the plant for strikers. He said the top people in the union were crooks. But so, too, were corporate bosses. After the unions came, working life improved immensely. Grandpa Harry’s thinking was, if employers and workers treated one another fairly, we wouldn’t need all this nonsense.
