The Joint Board of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America coordinated union activities in the Rochester, N.Y. area.
In 1915, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA) embarked on a large-scale organizing drive in Rochester, N.Y.
After four years of extensive organizing, the union succeeded in forcing the Rochester Clothiers' Exchange (the main
organization of employers) into adopting a 44-hour workweek. By 1929, the union had succeeded in unionizing over 12,000
of Rochester's clothing workers.
