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

Correcting a correction

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.

1908 strike

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

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?

@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]
