Biographical History
The Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) (1903-1950) was an American organization, with chapters in various states, formed to support the efforts of women to organize labor unions and to eliminate sweatshop conditions. The WTUL played an important role in strikes in American cities that led to the establishment of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, and campaigned for women's suffrage among both male and female workers. It was formed and named after the British organization of the same name.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The New York Women's Trade Union League Collection consists of a small bi-fold pamphlet describing the New York chapter's educational program for the 1947-1948 season as well as 39 issues of the New York Women's Trade Union League Bulletin newsletter. Topics include day care, food prices, world events, history, and fine arts.
