Here's what the ILGWU and its union label signify: Protecting Garment Workers' Rights: The ILGWU was founded to advocate for and ensure higher wages, safer working conditions, reasonable working hours, and benefits for garment workers, primarily women. Symbol of Ethical Production: The union label, like the one in your image, was introduced to identify garments made in union shops under fair labor practices. It served as a way for consumers to support ethical manufacturing. Historical Significance: The ILGWU played a crucial role in labor history, especially after events like the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, which galvanized public support for worker safety standards. "Look for the Union Label" Campaign: In the 1970s, the ILGWU launched a famous "Look for the Union Label" campaign, featuring a memorable jingle to encourage consumers to buy American-made, union-produced goods in response to increasing imports. Mergers and Legacy: The ILGWU merged in 1995 to form the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE), which later became part of UNITE HERE in 2004. #LubaIMagnin #VintageCoat #WoolCoat #RichPink #DarkCherry #WineRed #LongCoat #OpenFront #TimelessStyle
