This chapter investigates the auto workers' rough tactic of fighting to redress workplace grievances and to achieve a decent income to provide for their families, which was used throughout the 1930s and into the early 1940s. After the onset of the Great Depression, American workers in the automobile industry and elsewhere had reached the limits of their tolerance and endurance of the horrid conditions of their work lives. The bitter struggle for industrial unionism was a militant and masculine campaign to alleviate the conditions of life and labor in their communities and mass production factories. The struggle to build unions allowed workers to fight so that they could provide for their families.
