The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was a United States labor union known for
its support for "social unionism" and progressive political causes. Led by Sidney
Hillman for its first thirty years, it helped found the Congress of Industrial
Organizations. It merged with the Textile Workers Union of America in 1976 to form
the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, which merged with the
International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union in 1995 to create the Union of
Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE). UNITE merged in 2004 with
the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) in 2004 to create a new
union known as UNITE HERE. After a bitter internal dispute in 2009, the majority of
the UNITE side of the union, along with some of the disgruntled HERE locals left
UNITE HERE, and formed a new union named Workers United, Led by former UNITE
president Bruce Raynor.
