AI Summary
This resolution declares February 11, 2026, as White Shirt Day in the state of Michigan to commemorate the historic Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1937, a pivotal event where early United Auto Workers (UAW) members demonstrated unity and perseverance to secure better pay and benefits, laying the groundwork for improved conditions for all American workers.
