On this day, 23 January 1913 10,000 clothing workers went on strike in Rochester, NY for the 8 hour day, a 10% wage increase, union recognition, and extra pay for overtime and holidays.

The strike was called off in April after manufacturers agreed not to discriminate against workers for joining a union.
