The Mechanics' Union of Trade Associations (also known as The Mechanics' Union or MUTA) is a now-defunct American trade union founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1827. ==Origin==
During the winter of 1826-1827, more than 800 Philadelphians were jailed in a debtors' prison as a consequence of not having paid off their loans. One anonymous prisoner working from his prison cell wrote an open letter, "To the Mechanics and Working-Men of the Fifth Ward, and those friendly to their Interests," describing the difficult work conditions suffered by working-class Philadelphians. The letter inspired a few outspoken writers to publish a widely circulated article demanding the workday be cut from twelve hours to ten hours. In June 1827, carpenters in Philadelphia struck for a 10-hour workday, agreeing to no reduction in wages. According to ExplorePAhistory.com: By October, the protesters had established the Mechanics' Union of Trade Associations, the first trade union to cross craft lines.
