The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) was once one of the largest labor unions in the United States, one of the first U.S. unions to have a primarily female membership, and a key player in the labor history of the 1920s and 1930s. The union, generally referred to as the "ILGWU" or the "ILG," merged with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union in 1995 to form the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE). UNITE merged with the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) in 2004 to create a new union known as UNITE HERE. The two unions that formed UNITE in 1995 represented only 250,000 workers between them, down from the ILGWU's peak membership of 450,000 in 1969.
Early history
The ILGWU was founded in 1900 in New York City by seven local unions, with a few thousand members between them. The union grew rapidly in the next few years but began to stagnate as the conservative leadership favored the interests of skilled workers, such as cutters. This did not sit well with the majority of immigrant workers, particularly Jewish workers with a background in Bundist activities in Tsarist Russia, or with Polish and Italian workers, many of whom had strong socialist and anarchist leanings.
Membership of the union collapsed during the 1920s, with job losses due to the depression, the General Strike of 1926 and disputes over payments to members of the executive committee. In 1929, it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU), with about 100,000 members remaining to transfer. This enabled the TGWU, for the first time, to gain significant numbers of members outside of the docks and transport industries.
The Workers' Union (Faroese:Verkamannafylkingin, VMF) was a political party in the Faroe Islands.
History
The party won three seats in the 1994 elections, taken by Óli Jacobsen, Kristian Magnussen and Ingeborg Vinther. It joined the governing coalition, with Jacobsen, Magnussen and Axel H. Nolsøe serving as Ministers. However, it lost all three seats in the 1998 elections, when it received just 215 votes.

Under federal labor law, an employer must recognize a union chosen by an employee majority as the employees’ exclusive bargaining agent. But an employer may not recognize a union as exclusive bargaining agent if that union lacks majority support. Does an employer violate the law if it mistakenly believes a union has majority support?

International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union v. National Labor Relations Board (Bernhard-Altmann Texas Corp.) | 366 U.S. 731 (1961)
Under federal labor law, an employer must recognize a union chosen by an employee majority as the employees’ exclusive bargaining agent. But an employer may not recognize a union as exclusive bargaining agent if that union lacks majority support. Does an employer violate the law if it mistakenly believes a union has majority support? That’s the question in International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union versus National Labor Relations Board.
The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union organized at Bernhard Altmann Texas Corporation’s factory. A union representative told Bernhard erroneously that the union had obtained signed cards from a majority of employees in the production and shipping department, authorizing the union to represent them. Neither the union nor Bernhard checked the cards against payroll records to confirm this assertion.
Bernhard and the union signed a memorandum of understanding in which Bernhard recognized the union as the exclusive bargaining agent for its production and shipping employees. After weeks of negotiations, the parties signed a formal collective bargaining agreement. By that time, the union had signed cards from an employee majority.
The National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel filed a complaint against Bernhard and the union, charging that the parties violated the National Labor Relations Act by signing the memorandum of understanding when the union lacked majority employee support. The board found the parties had violated the act, although each believed in good faith that an employee majority supported the union. The board ordered the parties to refrain from enforcing any agreements pending a government supervised representation election. The District of Columbia Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted cert.

Andriessen, Louis: Workers Union (1975) 20' for any loud-sounding group of instruments.
Composer's Notes
Workers Union was originally written for the orchestra De Volharding (Perseverance), in which I myself figured as a pianist at that time.
This piece is a combination of individual freedom and severe discipline: its rhythm is exactly fixed; the pitch, on the other hand, is indicated only approximately, on a single-lined stave.
It is difficult to play in an ensemble and to remain in step, sort of thing like organising and carrying on political action.

Trade (or Labor) Unions Explained in One Minute: Definition/Meaning, History & Arguments For/Against
Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 whe...

In Nevada, the race between Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican challenger Adam Laxalt is close. The powerful political force, the Culinary Workers Union, is stumping on behalf of Democratic candidates, going door to door. Many say affordability is the most important issue to them. Republicans are hoping economic issues will tip the final result in their favor on election night.

Over the years, trade or labour unions have helped bring about things like a minimum wage, rules about safety and 8-hour work days. But some people are worried that some unions have become way too powerful. So what are unions?

📣 If the news feels chaotic to you these days, you're not alone. We want to answer your biggest questions about what's happening in the world today via our new video format: https://forms.gle/Mgp2oqa3gr8tNw1M7 📣
“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.

Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 when it comes to the US and the present comes with its own set of challenges. By explaining what trade unions are all about, how things work and why you should care, the video helps you pick a proverbial side in an informed manner.

International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union v. National Labor Relations Board (Bernhard-Altmann Texas Corp.) | 366 U.S. 731 (1961)
Under federal labor law, an employer must recognize a union chosen by an employee majority as the employees’ exclusive bargaining agent. But an employer may not recognize a union as exclusive bargaining agent if that union lacks majority support. Does an employer violate the law if it mistakenly believes a union has majority support? That’s the question in International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union versus National Labor Relations Board.
The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union organized at Bernhard Altmann Texas Corporation’s factory. A union representative told Bernhard erroneously that the union had obtained signed cards from a majority of employees in the production and shipping department, authorizing the union to represent them. Neither the union nor Bernhard checked the cards against payroll records to confirm this assertion.
Bernhard and the union signed a memorandum of understanding in which Bernhard recognized the union as the exclusive bargaining agent for its production and shipping employees. After weeks of negotiations, the parties signed a formal collective bargaining agreement. By that time, the union had signed cards from an employee majority.
The National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel filed a complaint against Bernhard and the union, charging that the parties violated the National Labor Relations Act by signing the memorandum of understanding when the union lacked majority employee support. The board found the parties had violated the act, although each believed in good faith that an employee majority supported the union. The board ordered the parties to refrain from enforcing any agreements pending a government supervised representation election. The District of Columbia Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted cert.

Brain - Instrumental Retro (ID 1271) by Lobo Loco https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lobo_Loco/Not_my_Brain/Brain_-_Instrumental_Retro_ID_1271
The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) was once one of the largest labor unions in the United States, one of the first U.S. unions to have a primarily female membership, and a key player in the labor history of the 1920s and 1930s. The union, generally referred to as the "ILGWU" or the "ILG," merged with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union in 1995 to form the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE). UNITE merged with the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) in 2004 to create a new union known as UNITE HERE. The two unions that formed UNITE in 1995 represented only 250,000 workers between them, down from the ILGWU's peak membership of 450,000 in 1969.
Early history
The ILGWU was founded in 1900 in New York City by seven local unions, with a few thousand members between them. The union grew rapidly in the next few years but began to stagnate as the conservative leadership favored the interests of skilled workers, such as cutters. This did not sit well with the majority of immigrant workers, particularly Jewish workers with a background in Bundist activities in Tsarist Russia, or with Polish and Italian workers, many of whom had strong socialist and anarchist leanings.
Andriessen, Louis: Workers Union (1975) 20' for any loud-sounding group of instruments.
Composer's Notes
Workers Union was originally written for the orchestra De Volharding (Perseverance), in which I myself figured as a pianist at that time.
This piece is a combination of individual freedom and severe discipline: its rhythm is exactly fixed; the pitch, on the other hand, is indicated only approximately, on a single-lined stave.
It is difficult to play in an ensemble and to remain in step, sort of thing like organising and carrying on political action.
Louis Andriessen
(1990)
CD version. Great quality.
In Nevada, the race between Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican challenger Adam Laxalt is close. The powerful political force, the Culinary Workers Union, is stumping on behalf of Democratic candidates, going door to door. Many say affordability is the most important issue to them. Republicans are hoping economic issues will tip the final result in their favor on election night.

Over the years, trade or labour unions have helped bring about things like a minimum wage, rules about safety and 8-hour work days. But some people are worried that some unions have become way too powerful. So what are unions?

📣 If the news feels chaotic to you these days, you're not alone. We want to answer your biggest questions about what's happening in the world today via our new video format: https://forms.gle/Mgp2oqa3gr8tNw1M7 📣
“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.

Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 when it comes to the US and the present comes with its own set of challenges. By explaining what trade unions are all about, how things work and why you should care, the video helps you pick a proverbial side in an informed manner.
