Founded in 1900 by local union delegates representing about 2,000 members in cities in the northeastern United States, the
ILGWU grew in geographical scope, membership size, political influence to become one of the most powerful forces in
American organized labor by mid-century. Representing workers in the women's garment industry, the ILGWU worked to improve
working and living conditions of its members through collective bargaining agreements, training programs, health care
facilities, cooperative housing, educational opportunities, and other efforts. In 1995, the ILGWU merged with the Amalgamated
Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU) to form the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees
(UNITE).
