Statement by UAW Vice President Terry Dittes Director of the UAW General Motors Department on GM’s Yearly Earnings Report and Profit Sharing Estimate

Detroit – “Through their negotiated contract, UAW members today received news that they will receive up to $10,250 in profit sharing. This benefit was achieved through collective bargaining and our UAW members have earned a share of the prosperity that their skill, hard work and dedication created. Our members should be proud during a challenging year at this achievement. We continue to talk to our local unions and General Motors about some of the unforeseen challenges UAW members faced this year.”

White Shirt Day

UAW members celebrate “White Shirt Day” on February 11th to honor the more than 136,000 GM workers from multiple factories who participated in the Flint Sit-Down Strike.  In 1936 and 1937, employees worked in extremely dangerous conditions with very low wages.  Workers came together for a historic sit-in occupying the Fisher Body factories and other plants to demand a seat at the bargaining table with General Motors.  On February 11, 1937, the sit-in came to a close after 44 days and GM agreed to recognize the United Autoworkers Union as the official bargaining representatives to all hourly
