A Look Back at the Strike of 1922

Step back in time with the Manchester Historical Association on September 16 at 1 1am for this enlightening presentation.

For nearly a century, Manchester was renowned among New England mill towns as the "Strikeless City.” That all changed in 1922 when the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company – faced with economic hardship due to price wars with cheaper southern textile producers – cut wages and increased working hours for its employees. The vote to go on strike was overwhelmingly approved by workers and the subsequent nine-month work stoppage changed the city of Manchester forever.

Join us at this free webinar as we learn more about how the "Strikeless City” lost its nickname and how it changed the city forever.
