This book is a collection of folklore materials--legends, anecdotes, rumors, rituals, terminology, songs--from four UAW members who experienced life on the assembly line during the 1930s and 1960s, a period of history when manufacturing was the driving force of our economy. The older workers tell of times when the union was being created; the younger workers are grateful for the protection they had gained from the power of their union.
