Today in Labor History January 27, 1969: A group of African-American auto workers in Detroit led a wildcat strike against racism and poor working conditions. Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement (DRUM) began on July 8, 1968, when a group of Black autoworkers led a wildcat strike that partially shut down Chrysler Corporation’s Dodge Main plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. The movement sprang from a deep mistrust of the existing United Automobile Workers (UAW) union, and a strong anti-imperialist sensibility. DRUM was committed to building a revolutionary movement capable of challenging capitalist exploitation, union complacency, imperialism, and state violence. By 1969, the Revolutionary Union Movement had developed into the communist League of Revolutionary Black Workers.

"Still."
