When a garment carries a union label, it signifies that the workers involved in its production were protected by the benefits and rights outlined in union contracts and negotiated through the collective bargaining efforts of their union. For consumers, “union-made” clothing provided a level of assurance about the garment’s quality and ethical production practices. It indicated that the workers who created the clothing were treated fairly, had better working conditions compared to those in non-unionized factories, and were paid union wages. The union labels on vintage clothing, like the ones used by the ILGWU, not only helped consumers identify the era in which the garment was made but also stood as a symbol of solidarity and empowerment for the workers who were part of the labor movement. 23” waist
