but why did they do it? The Flint Journal Article: http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2015/01/see_the_images_from_the_histor.html states: "The strike began Dec. 30, 1936, at the Fisher 2 plant when the men sat down on the line in protest against the transfer of three inspectors who refused to quit the union."

My Grandfather, Royal Nelson Wismer, was Plant Manager during this strike. He testified in Washington during the Senate hearings regarding the strike. by Diane B.
