1910 Chicago garment workers' strike
The 1910 Chicago garment workers' strike, also known as the Hart, Schaffner and Marx (HSM) strike, was a labor strike established and led by women in which diverse workers in the garment industry showed their capability to unify ethnic boundaries in response to an industry infamous for low wages and poor conditions. The strike began on September 22, with sixteen women protesting the establishment of a bonus system that heavily favored particular workers and also mandated a cut in the piece rate of ¼ cent. The strike was initially supported by the United Garment Workers (UGW), however the UGW withdrew its support and the strike came to a halt when a deal was agreed upon between the labor leader Sidney Hillman and HSM in January 1911, with the radical strikers holding out until February 18. The strike was successful, as the Rate Committee mandated contracts that presented workers with improved wages and conditions.
== Background ==
From 1880 to 1920, there had been a significant amount of labor strikes as the conditions, treatment, and wages of workers did not equal the amount of time and quality of work the average laborer dedicated. The rise of the garment industry in this time period was particular relevant to women, as by the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the garment industry was Chicago's third-largest employer and the single largest employer of women. The 1910 Chicago Garment Workers' Strike was preceded by similar garment labor strikes in different locations, such as the Uprising of the 20,000, and subsequent strikes in Cleveland and Philadelphia. Fair treatment was desired by women as they did an equal amount of work compared to men, yet men oftentimes received a higher pay rate and/or concealed benefits.〔
