Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the rise of the National Union of Textile Workers of America, one of the first successful industrial unions in the United States. The author examines how the union, founded in 1891 by Irish, German, and French-Canadian immigrants, utilized a strategy of multi-ethnic organizing to gain a foothold in the often ethnically divided textile workforce of the time. The author also explores how the union's focus on building solidarity among workers across different skill levels and genders allowed the union to more effectively advocate for workers' rights. This book will be of great interest to scholars of labor history and to anyone interested in the history of immigrant labor organizing in the United States.
