    CHRONOLOGY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY 1618-1701 1618 Etienne Brulé passes through North Channel at the neck of Lake Huron; that same year (or during two following years) he lands at Sault Ste. Marie, probably the first European to look upon the Sault. The Michigan Native American population is approximately 15,000. 1621 Brulé returns, explores the Lake Superior coast, and notes copper deposits. 1634 Jean Nicolet passes through the Straits of Mackinac and travels along Lake Michigan’s northern shore, seeking a route to the Orient. 1641 Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault conduct religious services at the Sault. 1660 Father René Mesnard establishes the first regular mission, held throughout winter at Keweenaw Bay. 1668 Father Jacques Marquette takes over the Sault mission and founds the first permanent settlement on Michigan soil at Sault Ste. Marie. 1669 Louis Jolliet is guided east by way of the Detroit River, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. 1671 Simon François, Sieur de St. Lusson, lands at the Sault, claims vast Great Lakes region, comprising most of western America, for Louis XIV. St. Ignace is founded when Father Marquette builds a mission chapel. First of the military outposts, Fort de Buade (later known as Fort Michilimackinac), is established at St. Ignace. 1673 Jolliet and Marquette travel down the Mississippi River. 1675 Father Marquette dies at Ludington. 1679 The Griffon, the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes, is built by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and lost in a storm on Lake Michigan. ➤ La Salle erects Fort Miami at the mouth of the St.

  • Maurice Sugar Papers
    THE MAURICE SUGAR COLLECTION Papers, 1907-1973 58 1/2 Linear Feet Accession Number 232 Maurice Sugar was one of the first American lawyers to become what is now known as a "Labor Lawyer." Before he was made Chief Legal Counsel of the United Automobile Workers, a post he held between 1937 and 1948, he had practiced as a labor lawyer and defender of the poor since 1914. Born in Brimley, Michigan in 1891, he was educated in the Detroit school system. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School where he was Editor of the Michigan Law Review. In 1914 he and Jane Mayer were married. She later became Supervisor of Elementary School Physical Education for the City of Detroit. Sugar's first client in 1914 was the Detroit Typographical Union (AFL), and before his work with the UAW he represented nearly all Detroit area unions including the Detroit and Wayne County Federations of Labor (AFL) and various AFL international unions. During the Tool and Die Makers Strike of 1913 he handled over two-hundred cases in the courts. During World War I Sugar was indicted and convicted in a conspiracy trial (1917-1918), as he was a pacifist, but he was subsequently readmitted to the bar and pardoned. Active during his youth in the Socialist Party he later became an important spokesman for what were then considered "left wing" causes, including civil rights and racial equality. He was one of the founders of the National Lawyers Guild and an early advocate of pensions, unemployment compensation, social security and other such measures.

  • Labor on Display: Ford Factory Tours and the Romance of Globalized Deindustrialization
    Labor on Display: Ford Factory Tours and the Romance of Globalized Deindustrialization by Wendy Lynnette Michael A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Kristin Ann Hass, Chair Professor Howard Brick Professor Bruce A. Pietrykowski Professor Penny M. Von Eschen Preface In 1989, I began working on the assembly line at a transplant manufacturing facility owned by Mazda. At first it was exciting as I finally had a “real” job at the age of 30, even though I was hired in as a temporary worker, the promise of a permanent position made it seem solid.1 But I had never worked in a factory before and had no clue how demanding the job was. The first night – afternoon shift ran from 7 pm until 3:30 a.m. when the line wasn’t running overtime – was such an eye-opener. I stepped onto a moving platform and rode down the line with the car I was working on and stepped off again after spending my time bent over, attaching straps into the trunks of Ford Probes and Mazda 6s, and then run - and I do mean run - back to the parts rack to grab more parts and step up to repeat the process on the next car.2 It was hot, sweaty, and frustrating because it was so difficult to keep up with the pace of the line. The other new hire, a man about my age, left at lunch and never returned (another eye- opener!).

Labor Organizations and Reform Movements Lourie Collier Hillstrom hen automobile and truck manufacturing emerged as the nation's newest major industrial enterprise in the early twentieth century, the relationship between corporate owners Wand management and the workers who actually created the vehicles was a one-sided one. As masters of the factories that contained numerous high-paying jobs, management enjoyed considerable leverage in its dealings with workers, especially in rapidly growing northern cities where competition was fierce to find and hold jobs that could support a household. Early automobile companies used this dynamic to great advantage, insisting that their workforces put in long hours in bleak and sometimes hazardous workplaces. As in other mass-production industries of the era, automobile workers obliged, in large measure because weak labor unions were unable to make any appreciable inroads in this environment. Indeed, while the automobile industry professed its allegiance to the "open-shop" philosophy­ meaning that it did not officially discriminate between nonunion workers and union supporters-in reality it resortedto all manner of industrial espionage, intimidation, and discrimination to turn away unionization efforts. These efforts were largely successful until the Great Depression and the arrival of New Deal legislation designed to revitalize the 103 104 • Automobiles Labor Organizations • 105 American economy.
