CLEP US History II

Answer: B - Following the Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936, the auto industry became fully unionized, and United Auto Workers became one of the most powerful industry unions in the United States. The strike occurred in the General Motors plant in Flint, Michigan-the heart of the American auto industry. UAW had only formed a year before the strike occurred, and autoworkers were not an especially strong labor union at the time. But the union’s success in gaining a collective-bargaining agreement catapulted them to a position of prominence in the labor sector.
