This Week in Michigan Real Estate History: May 21 – May 28, 2018
This Week in Michigan Real Estate History features a strike by union tradesmen.
On May 28, 1962, the Carpenters Union declared a strike against metro Detroit home builders. This strike, which lasted until June 4, 1962, brought home construction in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties to a halt. The strike ended when the Union and home builders agreed to a 10-cent per hour raise.
