On this day in Labor History the year was 1909. That was the day the International Ladies Garment Workers Union began a strike against the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. Eventually, female workers struck at 339 of the 352 shirtwaist manufacturing firms in New York City. The strike was referred to as the “Uprising of the 20,000.”

Feel free to repost this in any of the ladies groups. A few grumpy ones don't want me posting in them.

Did you know that for as little as $1 a month you can be a patron of Labor History in 2:00 http://cf.podbean.com/crowdfund/profile/id/wxt69-15f
