9-15-15 September 15 Women and Children fight for a 10-hour Workday in 2:00

September 15, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1845. 5,000 female workers at the Allegheny Cotton Mills went on strike for a ten-hour day. The fast streams around Pittsburgh and Allegheny city were ideal to power cotton mills. The mills were overheated and filled with dangerous dust.
2:00 minute audio at link.
The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.
I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.
Please help make this happen.
