“Fight for the Living” this Workers’ Memorial Day In 1971, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The AFL-CIO and many constituent unions began celebrating the same day as Workers’ Memorial Day to remember the workers hurt and killed on the job every year, and to highlight the need for improved OSHA laws and regulations, effective workplace safety monitoring, and work site compliance. #KheelCenter #LaborHistory #Cornell #CornellILR #ILR #WorkersMemorialDay #ArchivesLife #LaborArchives #Labor #Unions #ArchivesOfInstagram #FromTheArchives #History #PosterCollection #Strikes @Cornell_Library @CornellTextileIndustry @CornellFashionCollection

#LaborOrganizerSpotlight Abraham Rosenberg Born in Russia, Abraham Rosenberg arrived in the United States in 1883. He was a member of the Knights of Labor and secretary of the United Trade Unions of New York and Vicinity, before helping to found the ILGWU. Serving as president of the union at the time of “The Uprising of the 20,000” and “The Great Revolt” of 1909 and 1910, the negotiation of the Protocol of Peace, and the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire (1911), Rosenberg led the ILGWU through a period of great growth and upheaval. He also served on the Board of Grievances and the Joint Board of Sanitary Control and published Memoirs of a Cloakmaker, an account of the New York City garment industry through 1910. After leaving the ILGWU presidency in 1914, Rosenberg worked as an organizer in Boston, New York and Jersey City. #KheelCenter #Unions #Strikes #Contract #AbrahamRosenberg #ILGWU #InternationalLadiesGarmentWorkersUnion #LaborSpotlight #LaborHistory #Cornell #CornellILR #LaborRights #ArchivesHistory #LaborInTheArchives #LaborArchives @CornellILR @CornellTextileIndustry @CornellFashionCollection

#LaborOrganizerSpotlight Herman Grossman, first President of the ILGWU from 1900-1903. Born in Austria, Grossman later emigrated to New York City and became a cloakmaker. A member of the United Brotherhood of Cloakmakers of New York and Vicinity, he was one of eleven delegates from local unions in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Newark that, representing roughly 2000 members, founded the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. At this meeting on June 3, 1900, he was elected the union’s first president. During Grossman’s first term as president, the International’s first local union in Chicago was formed, as well as what would later become one of the ILGWU’s most powerful locals, the Amalgamated Ladies’ Garment Cutters Union Local 10, was formed. After his second term as union president ended in 1907, Grossman continued to work with the ILGWU. He was a representative of the ILGWU during the “Uprising of the Twenty Thousand” in 1909, and a member of the general strike committee during the “Great Revolt” in 1910. He later worked in the offices of the New York Cloak Joint Board of Cloakmakers Unions. When Grossman passed away in 1934, David Dubinsky noted that the former ILGWU president, “was not only one of the generals and leaders of the International but also one of its first soldiers who prepared the ground and sowed the seeds from which our Union has sprouted and grown.” #KheelCenter #ILGWU #Unions #Strikes #Contract #HermanGrossman #LaborHistory #Cornell #CornellILR #LaborRights #ArchivesHistory #LaborInTheArchives #LaborArchives @CornellILR @CornellTextileIndustry @CornellFashionCollection

#LaborOrganizerSpotlight Moe Falikman (1893-1971) came to the United States from Austria-Hungary in 1913 and joined Local 10 of the ILGWU in 1916. Within the ILGWU, he served as comptroller, assistant manager, and eventually, manager of Local 10. He also served as chairman of the American Trade Union Council for Histadrut. Falikman served as manager of Local 10 from 1952-1968. #KheelCenter #ILGWU #Unions #Strikes #Contract #MoeFalikman #LaborHistory #Cornell #CornellILR #LaborRights #ArchivesHistory #LaborInTheArchives #LaborArchives @CornellILR @CornellTextileIndustry @CornellFashionCollection

#LaborOrganizerSpotlight Michael “Mike” Quill Quill was one of the founders of the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU), created in 1934. The TWU was a union created by New York City subway workers and later evolved to represent employees across many forms of transit. He appeared on the radio to broadcast the union’s message and with the other founders fought hard through strikes and sit-ins to combat powerful transit companies. Quill is known for the successful 1966 NYC Transit Strike that shut down bus and subway transit for almost 2 weeks, affecting millions of commuters. The 60 million dollar package included wage increases, an additional paid holiday, increased pension benefits, and more. Unfortunately, Quill passed away a few weeks after the victory. Quill was quoted saying “we had nowhere to go but up”, and up they went. #KheelCenter #TWU #Unions #Strikes #Contract #MikeQuill #NYC #TransitWorkers #LaborHistory #Cornell #CornellILR #LaborRights #ArchivesHistory #LaborInTheArchives #LaborArchives @CornellILR @CornellTextileIndustry @CornellFashionCollection
