thank you for visiting the labor history resource project as we build this resource!
In early summer 1982 an estimated 20,000 garment workers in New York City, members of ILGWU Local 23-25 and mostly Chinese immigrant women, walked off the job in protest. This collection from LaborArts memorializes the 40th anniversary of this historic action.
Part of the City University of New York, the American Social History Project is a recognized leader in effective, engaging history education. Who Built America Badges for History Education is designed for Grade 7-12 teachers
