Today in Labor History March 7, 1932: Over 3,000 people, led by the United Auto Workers, marched on the main Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan. Workers on the Ford Hunger March were demanding that laid off colleagues be rehired. They also demanded a slow-down of the assembly lines and an end to the evictions of unemployed workers from their homes. Marchers carried banners saying "Give Us Work," "We Want Bread Not Crumbs," and "Tax the Rich and Feed the Poor." During the protests, police opened fire with machine guns, killing 4 and injuring 60. A fifth worker died later from his wounds. The Unemployed Council (part of the Communist Party) also supported the march.

In an important example of how rank-and-file workers can organize to fight ICE, legal service workers of UAW Local 2325 passed a resolution to have a strike authorization vote in their local of 3,500 workers should ICE escalate its activities in New York City. Two members of Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD) reflect on this example as a strategy for building strike power nationally.
