Recognizes February 11, 2026, as United Auto Workers' (UAW) White Shirt Day, commemorating the 89th anniversary of the UAW's first contract with General Motors

Honors the 1937 Flint Sit-Down Strike, which ended on February 11, 1937, and led to the historic labor agreement

White Shirt Day tradition originated in 1948 when UAW Local 598 member Bert Christensen suggested workers wear white shirts (traditionally worn by managers) to symbolize equal respect for blue-collar workers
