Midnight in vehicle city : telling the story of the Flint sit-down strike
Edward "Ted" McClelland, author of "Midnight in vehicle city: General Motors, Flint, and the strike that created the middle class", delivers a Zoom presentation titled "Midnight in vehicle city: telling the story of the Flint sit-down strike." Ted talks about his new book on the strike that pitted the upstart union, the United Autoworkers, against the biggest corporation in the world, General Motors. He speaks about what inspired the book, his own experiences in the plant and with the union, growing up in the Lansing area, and then answers questions from the audience. Hosted by MSU Professor John Beck.
