Labor organizations in the automobile industry were practically non-existent in January 1933. Since then a foothold has been gained by every sort of workers' group known to organized labor, and by a few new and unique ones. Company unions were introduced just at the time that the automobile-manufacturing code under the NRA was adopted. All automobile manufacturing companies except the Ford Motor Company and a few independents had some form of company union. The automobile worker was anxious to try some form of collective bargaining to improve his status. He found both company unions and independent unions competing for his support.
