Comparisons are drawn between local and national developments within the ILGWU and the American labor movement in general. Surprisingly little effort has been made to test prevailing historical interpretations within specific cities-- especially those lying outside of the industrial northeast. Until more localized research is undertaken, the unique organizational struggles of thousands of working men and women will remain ill-understood. Differences in regional politics, economics, ethnicity, and leadership defy the application of broad-based generalizations. The Los Angeles ILGWU offers an excellent example of a group that did not conform to national trends. While the labor movement experienced remarkable success throughout much of the United States, the Los Angeles garment locals failed to achieve their basic goals. Although eastern clothing workers won every important dispute with owners and bargained from a position of strength, their disunited southern Californian counterparts languished under the counterattacks of business interests. No significant gains in ILGWU membership occurred in Los Angeles after 1933, and the open shop survived well iii into the following decade.

  • Educating the Seamstress: Studying and Writing the Memory of Work Maria Tamboukou
    Educating the seamstress: studying and writing the memory of work Maria Tamboukou University of East London, UK Bryn Mawr, August 4th, 1922 My dearest Comrade: This will be the last letter you will receive from Bryn Mawr. Next week this time, I will be with you again in the dusty city doing my daily work in the shop and spend- ing the evenings with you in the little office, planning to organize the non-organized. Really, dear comrade, when I look back into the past, not very long, oh say only two months ago, I find such a change in my thoughts…. Let me share with you my new discoveries. To begin with I might proudly say that the pulse of the US beats in Bryn Mawr at this very moment. We have students from each state and of course you will agree with me that each state has its own way of living, with its joys and sorrows; with its cus- toms, traditions etc that reflects on the children of that state … they use different methods, but they all love the work…. As an example I’ll take a state in the south, Tennessee. We have quite a few girls from there. Most of them are timid, have very little knowledge, general knowledge I mean…. Most of them are loyal members of the ‘Y’ which has sent them here and is supporting them financially. They know very little of the outside world, but you just tell them in the South the negro is discrimi- nated against, and you will hear them talk! They are born aristocrats and as such they cannot stand criticism of their deeds.
