How did labor unions begin among skilled workers and craftsmen?
The first "labor unions" were Guild organizations and were very narrow in scope and dealt with only one type of craft activity. The first American labor unions dated from before 1800. The first was founded in 1794 in Philadelphia, by a group of shoemakers and called the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (shoemakers). In 1866 William Sylvis organized the National Labor Union and worked to organize workers in many different states and of different occupations. In 1869, a group of tailors, led by Uriah P. Stephens, formed the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. In 1866, a union was organized that was composed of several associations of skilled workers. This union came to be called the American Federation of Labor, and held many successful strikes under the leadership of Samuel Gompers.
