In 1957, UAW representatives created Local 36 to service autoworkers newly hired or drafted from Locals 400, 600 and 900 to build Lincolns and Thunderbirds at Ford’s Wixom plant. Sam Fishman, a UAW activist with Local 400 who later was elected president of the Michigan AFL-CIO, became the first president of Local 36 and held the position from 1957 to 1962.
The papers of UAW Local 36, which consist primarily of a full set of membership and executive board meeting minutes drawn from a 30-year period, document the local’s strike activity in 1958 and 1967 as well as longstanding concerns such as line speeds, hours, manpower, health and safety, outsourcing and benefits.
