@abandonedcentral: Exploring an old abandoned United Auto Workers (UAW) office in Detroit. The UAW formed in 1935 but became a real force to be reckoned with after the infamous 1936-37 Flint “Sit-Down Strike.” This forced General Motors to officially recognize the UAW union, which subsequently caused a major overhaul of Detroit’s labor laws, particularly within the automotive industry. #UAW #union #detroit #automotive #motorcity
