In the scorching Detroit heat, a 105-day-old labor standoff between General Motors and the CIO United Auto Workers (UAW) hung precariously in the balance. The UAW, led by President R J Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer George Addes, and Vice President Walter P Reuther, anxiously awaited a response from GM on a proposal that could either resolve or escalate the conflict. The plan involved a vote among 175,000 production workers to determine the means of settlement.
