It seems to me that some of the first organized strikes and collective worker action in the US were by the Factory Girls, especially the Lowell Mill Girls strikes of 1834 and 1836. The role of women (the first mass-employee group in the industrial revolution) is understated in this article.

The section on the Knights of Labor has a couple paragraphs on the Haymarket affair but some of it conflicts with that page. There are much better descriptions on other pages like the Labor Day and Eight-hour day pages. Also, this page needs more citations throughout. 184.96.157.202 ( talk) 00:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

It would be worth writing about the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in the rise in union activity section. These strikes have been quite high-profile and a big indicator of a reinvigoration of unions. Dieguito121 ( talk) 23:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC) reply
