Today in Labor History

April 25, 1886
The New York Times declares the struggle for an eight-hour workday to be “un-American” and calls public demonstrations for the shorter hours “Labor disturbances brought about by foreigners.” Other publications declare that an eight-hour workday would bring about “loafing and gambling, rioting, debauchery and drunkenness.”   ~Labor Tribune

Updated On: Jun 22, 2022
June 22, 2022 | ORGANIZING | Workers at the Apple store in Towson have voted to unionize, becoming the first of the company’s U.S. employees to do so. “To be the first Apple store in the country to get a union is incredible,” said employee Tiawana Dugger, adding that the workers organized because they were “tired of being overlooked, tired of feeling like we weren’t heard, tired of not getting the things that we deserve.” The Towson employees, who formed the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees, or CORE, went public with their unionization efforts last month. Their concerns include compensation, fairness, and COVID-19 safety… The Baltimore Sun
