July 25
July 25, 1890 - New York garment workers won the right to unionize after a seven-month strike. They secured agreements for a closed shop and the firing of all scabs.
The Teamsters and Service Employees unions break from the AFL-CIO during the federation’s 50th convention to begin the Change to Win coalition, ultimately comprised of seven unions. They say they want more emphasis on organizing and less on electoral politics - 2005
