AI notes: The Chrysler strike of March 25, 1937, was a significant labor action during a wave of union organizing in the U.S. auto industry. Led by the United Auto Workers (UAW), the strike began with a sit-down strike at Chrysler plants in Detroit, where thousands of workers occupied the factories to demand union recognition, better wages, and improved working conditions. Inspired by the successful General Motors Flint Sit-Down Strike earlier that year, Chrysler workers held out for over two weeks. Chrysler eventually agreed to recognize the UAW as the bargaining agent for its employees. This victory helped solidify the UAW’s power and marked a major step in unionizing the American auto industry. It also highlighted growing labor strength during the New Deal era.
