Vintage Lee Jean Skirt , Size 11R, Blue Vintage Preowned Excellent Condition Garments made by AFLCIO United Garment Workers America The UGWA was formed in New York in April 1891 and lead a successful strike of 16,000 garment workers in New York City in 1893, but soon adopted a more conservative, conciliatory tone with manufacturers.[1] Thomas A. Rickert of Chicago served as UGW's president from 1904 [2] through at least 1939.[3] At the UGW's 1914 convention in Nashville, Tennessee, a number of large urban locals, with stronger Socialist loyalties and more willingness to strike, and who represented a full two-thirds of the national membership, split off to form the rival Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America under Hillman's founding leadership. In 1994, the UGW's 15,000 members merged into the United Food and Commercial Workers. (BinE)
