{"product_id":"2940151454636","title":"Jews and Unionism","description":"The history of unionism in the Jewish community. The first attempts at organization among Jewish workmen antedate the main influx of Jewish immigration into England and America. The first union of Jewish tailors in New York was organized in 1877. It had an ephemeral existence. When, in the eighties, Jews began to arrive in large numbers, the need of organization was soon realized. Several unions came into existence, and strikes were declared which met with varying degrees of success. About the time of the eleventh census (1890) New York City had become the center for the manufacture of women's ready-made clothing. The year 1890 witnessed the first great strike of Jewish workmen: the cloak-makers struck in all factories and sweat-shops, and after enduring great suffering for eight weeks they won the strike. Wages were raised to such an extent that the workers were able to earn during the busy season from $25 to $30 a week.","brand":"Franklin Religious Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073925333232,"sku":"2940151454636","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151454636_p0.jpg?v=1764010975","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151454636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
