    How Detroit’s first auto strike failed, but ultimately changed things for the better

    The 1913 Studebaker strike in Detroit was the city's first major auto strike, sparked by a shift from weekly to biweekly pay and the firing of a worker who opposed the change. Though the strike failed to achieve its goals, it prompted improved labor conditions in the industry, including Henry Ford's introduction of the $5-a-day wage. Studebaker eventually went defunct in 1968.
