1835 Philadelphia general strike : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1835 Philadelphia general strike The 1835 Philadelphia general strike took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the first general strike in North America and involved some 20,000 workers who struck for a ten-hour workday and increased wages. The strike ended in complete victory for the workers.〔Philip S. Foner, ''History of the Labor Movement in the United States, Vol. 1, From Colonial Times to the Founding of The American Federation of Labor'', International Publishers, 1975, pages 116–118〕 ==Background== Carpenters in Boston, Massachusetts had struck for a ten-hour workday in 1825, 1832, and 1835, but each strike ended in failure. A circular written during the 1835 strike influenced workers in Philadelphia. The circular read "We have been too long subjected to the odious, cruel, unjust and tyrannical system which compels the operative mechanic to exhaust his physical and mental powers. We have rights and duties to perform as American citizens and members of society, which forbid us to dispose of more than ten hours for a day's work."〔Commons, ed., ''Documentary History of American Industrial Society, Vol. VI'', page 96〕
