Shoemakers form union

The long and turbulent history of America's labor unions officially began on this day, as a group of shoemakers deciding to join forces in the battle for wages and workplace amenities.

The shoemakers, who consecrated their new brotherhood by gathering in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, christened themselves the "Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers".

The Cordwainers move to unionize was borne of the shift from "economic clientage" to an open wage system that occurred in America during the late Eighteenth Century.

This change inspired workers such as the shoemakers to join forces in the hopes of legitimizing their wage scales and guarding against competition from bargain-basement priced labor, craftsman.
