On this day in 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), or "Wobblies," were founded in Chicago. Their motto, "An injury to one is an injury to all," highlights the importance of solidarity in the labor movement. #OnThisDayInHistory #Industrialworkersoftheworld #IWW

#OnThisDayInHistory in 1910, the Cloakmakers' strike began, led by the ILGWU. This massive walk-out fought for fair wages and safer conditions, resulting in the "Protocol of Peace" that set new labor standards in the garment industry. #cloakmakerstrike #ilgwu #laborhistory
