1910 Cloakmakers' Strike - the Great Revolt

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Background

By , About.com Guide

Another garment industry strike in Manhattan in 1910 led to a Joint Board of Sanitary Control being established, where labor and management agreed to cooperate in establishing standards above the legal minimums for factory working conditions, and also agreed to cooperatively monitor and enforce the standards.

This strike settlement, unlike the 1909 settlement, resulted in union recognition for the ILGWU by many of the garment factories, and provided for disputes to be handled through arbitration rather than strikes.
