      1902 Horseshoers Strike
      Aug 29 2025

      Horseshoeing was a booming industry in Philadelphia back when horses were the primary means of transportation. In 1902, the men and children who did most of the work struck for better wages, hours, and conditions, effectively shutting down the city’s transport network until their demands were met.

      Voices of Labor - Kenneth Wilson
      Aug 8 2025

      At Philadelphia's 2025 May Day Rally and March, Gabe and Sam ran around with a microphone to get recordings from union members, organizers, and workers.

      Each person was asked 4 questions:
      -Who was the worst boss you've ever had and why?
      -Are you part of a union?
      -What does being a union member mean to you?
      -What was your favorite moment of solidarity that you've witnessed?
