Wednesday 2/11. Today is . . .


Today is WHITE SHIRT DAY.


White Shirt Day has been celebrated every February 11th since 1937. This day honors the workers who were involved in a strike at General Motors in 1937. These workers helped the United Auto Workers (UAW) union to become a bargaining tool against General Motors.


According to the UAW website, this is what you do on this day:

* Everyone must wear a white shirt of some sort (blouse, tshirt or shirt)

* Your shift mustn't get dirtier than your boss's shirt.

* Safety and work rules must be followed.


On a lighter note, please do not confuse this day with WET White Shirt Day. However, you can get wet, if you follow the UAW rules listed above.

would it be appropriate to wear black if you feel that Unions are ruining this country?
