First Friday: A Sampling of Labor Sentiments

As we head into Labor Day weekend this year, join us on a walk along the Canalside Rail Trail in view of the factories—now gone or about to be demolished--and share a sampling of snippets from our local newspaper archives. Get a glimpse into the sentiments of workers, owners, and newspaper editors regarding shifts, pay, unions, and strikes during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
