A Century Later, Garment Workers Still Face the Unfair Labor Conditions That Sparked International Women’s Day Chelsey Sanchez © Art by Ingrid Frahm Over a century ago, striking garment workers inspired International Women s Day. Today, L.A. garment workers are still facing the same problems. On a November evening in 1909, hundreds of shirtwaist workers, many of whom were Jewish immigrants, packed the Great Hall of New York City’s Cooper Union. Local 25 of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union had organized a meeting that night to discuss the possibility of an industry-wide strike, a practice that was still illegal at the time.

For Garment Workers, Making Any Minimum Wage Has Been a Struggle A California Senate Bill Aims to Change That

For Garment Workers, Making Any Minimum Wage Has Been a Struggle. A California Senate Bill Aims to Change That State Senator Maria Elena Durazo is pushing to end unfair payment practices in clothing manufacturing Across the United States, the movement for an increase in minimum wage is growing, but for Los Angeles’ 46,000-plus garment workers, getting paid any minimum wage has been an ongoing struggle. Senate Bill 62, introduced by California State Senator Maria Elena Durazo in December, aims to change this. One of the central goals of SB-62 is ending the piece rate practice, where, in lieu of an hourly wage, workers are paid per piece produced. “It actually is used as a way to further exploit those workers,” says Senator Durazo. “My first job in the labor movement was as an organizer in the garment industry, in the late ’70s, and what existed then still exists today.”
