May 26, 1824 - On this day in 1824, 102 women and girls organized the first factory strike in the United States at Pawtucket’s Slater Mill, a textile factory in Rhode Island. After owners slashed their pay 25% and added unpaid hours (calling their wages “extravagant”), women fought back. The strike grew into a fiery revolt. The girls and women were joined by other working-class sectors and the bosses were forced to finally negotiate. Their defiance ignited a wave of worker uprisings. [link]
