The 1768 strike by New York City journeymen tailors is often considered one of the first recorded strikes in American history. The tailors protested against wage cuts and poor working conditions, marking an early instance of collective action by workers. While it may not be the absolute first strike, it is significant for its role in labor history. Unions and organized labor movements would develop more fully in the years that followed.
