The House Resolution proposes to declare February 11, 2025, as White Shirt Day in Michigan, honoring the 88th anniversary of the United Auto Workers (UAW) first contract with General Motors. This date is significant as it commemorates the end of the Flint Sit-Down Strike in 1937, a pivotal event in labor history that showcased the sacrifices and determination of UAW members. The resolution acknowledges the contributions of UAW members and retirees to the Flint community, the state, and the nation, emphasizing the importance of their efforts in securing better pay and benefits for workers.

The resolution also highlights the tradition of wearing white shirts, which began in 1948 when UAW member Bert Christensen suggested that workers don the shirts typically worn by managers to symbolize their equal importance in the workplace. This act represents unity and respect for blue-collar workers. The resolution calls for ceremonies to celebrate the UAW's history while looking forward to its future contributions to the workforce. Ultimately, the resolution commends the UAW for its role in strengthening Michigan's communities and economy.
