Michael Elk: ‘In order to hurt big companies you got to hurt their profits’

Tomorrow marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the flint sit-down strike.

It started when the united auto workers union targeted two General Motors plants.

Employees showed up at workers showed up to work and sat down inside so new workers couldn’t come in and replace them.

It nearly shut down the company and before long other plants followed suit,

and eventually they got the attention of the big boys

- the heads of the automakers.

This year any of the same issues will come up again

as the subject of unions is back up for debate.

“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!” –

Mario Savio – Sproul Hall, University of California, Berkeley on December 2, 1964.
