This looks like a really interesting film so I added it to my list of movies to get from NetFlix. Not very often do you see movies like this where females are the ones pushing to get unionized.

Established in 1869 in Philadelphia the KOL was a secret society of tailors. Following Terence Powderly's rise to leadership in 1877 the organization went public, pursuing such goals as an 8-hour workday, abolishment of child labor, graduated income tax and fair wage. One of several organizations created to "look out for the workers." For students: what was the purpose of labor organizations? How did they differ from labor unions? How was the KOL organized? What power did the labor organizations have? How did they obtain power?

Many unskilled immigrant workers came to this country from Socialist backgrounds, resulting in one of the first serious union organizational efforts in the industry through the formation of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

Noted as the most violent in the history of the state. Important for state history, the organization of unions. Possible classroom investigation... how this impacted the local economy as this happened during the depression years.
