The Silk Workers' Strike

The Silk Workers' Strike, which primarily took place in the early 20th century, involved silk factory workers who protested against poor working conditions, long hours, and low wages. Strikers sought better labor rights and improved conditions, reflecting a growing labor movement advocating for workers' needs. The strike highlighted the struggles of industrial workers during a time when labor laws were minimal. It also played a significant role in raising awareness about workers' rights, ultimately contributing to broader labor reforms and helping to reshape public attitudes towards industrial labor and worker protections.
