Textile Workers Union of America

The Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA) was an organization that represented and fought for the rights of workers in the textile industry, mainly during the mid-20th century. It aimed to improve wages, working conditions, and job security through collective bargaining and strikes when necessary. The union sought to empower textile workers, many of whom faced difficult labor conditions, by uniting them under a common cause. As part of the broader labor movement, TWUA played a key role in advocating for fair treatment and better standards within the textile manufacturing sector.
