| Auto-Lite Workers' Memorial |
Union Memorial Park; Elm & Champlain Sts. |
Toledo |
OH |
Tribute to the autoworkers who struck in 1934 to build the United Auto Workers (UAW). Electric Auto-Lite workers were brutally attacked by National Guardsmen, and over 200 were injured in Toledo's bloodiest labor battle. |
The central issues of the 1934 strike are exemplified by the signs each figure holds. The man's sign reads "Solidarity forever," the woman's "Dignity in the workplace." |
