There goes history again, repeating itself. (hopefully)
For A Better Future: The 1933 New Haven Garment Strike
"Parents were afraid to let their daughters strike because they so desperately needed their meager income."
..."The strikers stood strong, and momentum began to turn in their favor. On April 18, the ACWA called for a nationwide strike of unorganized shirtmakers. By Monday, April 24, striking workers closed nearly all of the New Haven shirt companies.
The Connecticut State Board of Education sided with the strikers, notifying the labor commissioner that school age children were working in factories. A letter from the board described a “little girl” working for the LeRoy Shirt Company who earned 37 cents for working 24 hours."
