Thursday, November 12, 1936. The Bay Bridge Opens.

Union workers outside the Weighers' and Warehousemen's Union headquarters, workers celebrating the 1936 election.  Photo by the great Dorothea Lange.  This photo is given this date, but my guess is that it might be from November 11. Great example of actual 1930s clothing.

The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge opened.

Workers at General Motors went on strike.

Winston Churchill delivered a speech in Parliament attacking Prime Minister Baldwin government for its slow response to German rearmament.
