Labor Unions From Guild to Modern Movement Origins
A historical review notes labor organizations date to medieval guilds, with Massachusetts shoemakers forming early local unions in 1648. Modern trade unionism rises in the late 18th century, with 1827 Philadelphia Mechanics Union of Trade Associations marked as a turning point. European roots trace to Britain’s Industrial Revolution. AFL claimed 3.27 million members in 1937. The earliest sitdown strike appears in Lyons in 1565, while America’s first sitdown was 3,000 General Electric workers at Schenectady in 1908, revived in Akron in 1934.
