The streets of Long Beach, California, were ablaze with worker discontent in 1938, as the Ford Motor Company faced the wrath of the labor movement. In a scathing verdict, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that the behemoth auto manufacturer is responsible for a contentious strike that rocked its Long Beach plant. The NLRB order, issued last year, has directed the company to reinstate the striking workers, many of whom had been fighting for fair wages and better working conditions.
