Crystal Lee Sutton was an American union organizer and advocate who was fired from her job at the J.P. Stevens plant in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina on May 30, 1973 for "insubordination" after she copied an anti-union letter posted on the company bulletin board. Her story was the basis of the 1979 Oscar-winning film "Norma Rae", starring Sally Field.
