On this day, 23 February 1910, textile workers in New York decided to end their five-month long strike after winning higher wages. Workers at the soon to be infamous Triangle Shirtwaist factory were at the centre of the strike organised by mostly women, and mostly migrant Jewish and Italian workers.
Also known as the Uprising of the 20,000, workers decided to return to work despite not having yet achieved union recognition.
An account of the strike can be found here: http://libcom.org/history/1909-triangle-shirtwaist-factory-strike https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1357212787797201/?type=3
