==Early life and union career==
Yokich was born in Detroit, Michigan, in August 1935 to Stephen and Julia Yokich,〔〔"Biographical Information on Retired President Stephen Yokich," ''Associated Press,'' August 16, 2002.〕 just six days before the first UAW convention.〔〔Garsten, "Outgoing Union Leader Leaves Legacy of Protecting Workers' Rights But Failing to Organize Transplants," ''Associated Press,'' May 28, 2002.〕 He is of German, Lebanese, Serbian and Syrian descent.〔〔Konrad, "An Evening of Mutual Admiration Leaders of Ford, UAW Cordial At Banquet," ''Detroit Free Press,'' December 3, 1998.〕〔Nauss, "Rough Rider," ''Los Angeles Times,'' June 11, 1995.〕 Both of his grandfathers, most of his aunts and uncles, and his father were UAW members.〔〔〔〔〔〔Evanoff, "UAW Head Uses Low-Key Strategy As Talks Near," ''Detroit Free Press,'' August 27, 1999.〕 When he was 22 months old, his mother (a UAW member of Local 174 who was out on strike at the Ternstedt Plant) took him to his first picket line.〔〔〔〔〔〔 His father brought him to a picket line when he was six years old.〔
He served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956, then became an apprentice in 1956 at the Heidrich Tool and Die Company in Oak Park, Michigan.〔
〔〔〔〔''Who's Who in America,'' 2002.〕 He joined UAW Local 155, the same local where his father had once been shop steward.〔〔〔"Yokich Set to Retire as UAW Chief," ''United Press International,'' May 31, 2002.〕 Many members of his family were members of Local 155. "Working in the same local, I went to all the meetings with my father," he said. "We would take one car, and there would be four or five of us, all riding together to go to the meetings."〔 As the youngest apprentice, he was required to serve as the local union's recording secretary.〔 He was elected chair of Local 155's political action committee after a year in the union.〔 Yokich became notorious for pushing and sometimes fighting with anti-union workers, managers and others while walking the picket line during strikes.〔〔 He was arrested in the late 1950s after an altercation on a strikers' picket line in Fraser, Michigan.〔
