| Description | [CAUTION: There are scenes with dead workers in caskets that might be disturbing as well as some comments.] Ford was considered the model of manufacturing technology in the 1920s. By offering the $5 day, and other benefits, Ford was also considered a model employer. The video does not explain that the $5 was only for workers who followed Ford's philosophy. The Great Depression changed that perception and worker unrest led to a unionization drive. Ford was more resistant than the other "Big-3" auto companies (GM and Chrysler) and was the last to unionize on the eve of WW2. The video uses interviews and orginial footage..(Video starts in the middle of person's interview.) |
