Twelve thousand New York tailors strike over sweatshop conditions - 1894

International Brotherhood of Bookbinders merged with Graphic Arts International Union - 1972

What many believe was to become the longest strike in U.S. history, 600 Teamster-represented workers walk out at the Diamond Walnut processing plant in Stockton, Calif., after the company refused to restore a 30 percent pay cut they had earlier taken to help out the company. The two sides ultimately agreed to a new contract after 14 years – 1991
