- Description:
- Men gather outside the Dodge plant in Detroit, Michigan during sit-down strike, one man stands next to a picket sign which reads, Welcome sheriff, we are here to stay." "...the Chrysler strike lacked the fireworks of Flint, planning for it was so open that even corporation officials knew when and where the strike would begin, but they also knew they could do nothing to prevent it, when Dick Frankensteen phoned John Zaremba inside the Dodge Main plant with the order to launch the strike, Zaremba raised his hand in an arranged signal and the shop stewards shut down the plant, within five minutes not a machine or assembly line stirred, again a substantial minority, acting with the sympathy and passive support of the majority halted the operations of one of the industry's giants, perhaps as many as 15,000 of Chrysler's workforce of 67,000 were UAW members when the strike began and about 6,000 were active strike participants," from "American Vanguard: The United Auto Workers During the Reuther Years, 1935-1970," by John Barnard.

- Group of people (identified as Jane Tate, PTA, Karl D. Gregory, Lt.

"Nearly a fourth of all children in the schools of Michigan discovered last week that no bell tolled for them be cause teachers in 35 districts refused to work without a contract, aware that a state law bans teacher strikes, both the Michigan Education Association, an affiliate of the N.E.A., and the A.F.L.C.I.O. Michigan Federation of Teachers insist that their members were simply "withholding services," the worst of these nonstrikes closed all classes in the 300,000-student Detroit system, there, Mrs. Mary Ellen Riordan, an old-style, fiery unionist who is president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers, led her 6,400 members in a fight for a $1,200 pay hike and a two-week cut in the 40-week school year, the city, which pays teachers from $5,800 to $10,000, offered $600 and a one-week school-year reduction.
