The tool and die strike of 1939, also known as the "strategy strike", was an ultimately successful attempt by the United Auto Workers Union (UAW) to be recognized as the sole representative for General Motors workers.
When his brother Walter, who was the director of the UAW’s GM department, called a strike of GM’s skilled tool and die workers, Roy was deeply involved in organizing for the strike. Eventually the strike forced GM to recognize the UAW as the exclusive representative for workers in 41 of its plants. [1] [3]
