Daniel Corner proudly wore this cap to United Auto Workers labor union meetings, adding buttons to his cap every year between October 1937 and January 1942. During this time, he worked for Ford Motor Company and may have faced threats of violence from Ford security staff for his union activities. Ford officially unionized on June 20, 1941.
