Introduction
Throughout the sit-down strike, the UAW maintained picket lines at affected GM plants. Picketing provided an opportunity for workers who were unable or unwilling to remain in the factories to show their support for the union, the strike, and the men inside the plants. It also offered a chance for the wives, sisters, and children of striking workers to demonstrate their support to their striking husbands, brothers, and fathers.
