United Textile Workers

The United Textile Workers (UTW) was a labor union representing workers in the textile industry, advocating for better wages, working conditions, and rights. Founded in the early 20th century, it aimed to unite textile workers across various regions to collectively negotiate with employers, improve safety standards, and secure fair treatment. The UTW played a significant role in labor movements related to textile manufacturing, helping workers gain protections and organize strikes or protests when necessary. Over time, it became part of larger national unions, continuing its mission to support textile workers' economic and workplace interests.
