Can someone find the song Look for the union label? thanks John wesley 22:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting a correction[edit]

An anonymous editor wrote "they were founded in 1909, not 1900." Actually, no, it was 1900; the first big strike was 1909. According to the ILGWU's history of itself, "The Story of the ILGWU," published in 1935, it was founded on June 3, 1900 by a group of eleven men representing seven locals from Baltimore, Newark and New York.

Sabotage in article[edit]

The article has been sabotaged in the "Early History" section. J. Kulacz 96.18.39.97 (talk) 02:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1908 strike[edit]

The IWD article says IWD began in 1909 in commemoration of the 1908 strike by this union. If this is so, then such a strike should be mentioned here. 37.99.35.34 (talk) 02:50, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Roosevelt and the 1934 strike[edit]

The article claims that someone in the ILGWU falsely claimed that FDR had called the strike. There's no citation. I believe this is lore, not fact, since the same is attributed to the Appalachian coal strikes of '33 but no one has ever been able to identify a real source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdottt (talk • contribs) 16:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does ILGWU have apostrophe in its name or not?[edit]

@Alistair1978: I noticed you've made dozens of edits to different wikipedia pages, alleging a typo. I see variations of the name, including 1. International Ladies Garment Workers Union 2. International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and 3. International Ladies' Garment Workers Union but either way per WP:COMMONNAME I'm in favor of International Ladies Garment Workers Union cc: @Beyond My Ken: ~ Shushugah (talk) 05:05, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed this is not the first time, you've been asked to seek consensus before making mass edits, particularly on apostrophies related to ladies. See ANI decision here ~ Shushugah (talk) 05:23, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One simply has to look at the union's official logo (or "bug") here to see that there are no apostrophes in the name. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By making these edits I was simply correcting the link text in line with the title of this article, which I think it was fair for me to assume was correct, given I can see no previous talk on the matter. By reverting these changes there is now an inconsistent mish-mash of formatting.

I do not accept that the article move to its present name had consensus. I do not consider that an old logo provides conclusive evidence of the correct name for this organisation. It's not unusual to stylise names in graphical logos - there are many examples of this.

A Google search quickly turns up the following reasonably reliable sources naming the organisation using the previous title of this article, according to correct English usage

No matter what WP:COMMONNAME might be, according to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Official_names the official name is what's key here. Based on these documents from 1920's and if anyone could confirm/provide legal letterhead/registration info from later, would settle the debate, e.g from here. That would mean this article's main title should be with apostrophes, while a redirect without apostrophes is created. ~ Shushugah (talk) 15:29, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
