The Paterson Silk Strike of 1913 was a significant labor protest in Paterson, New Jersey, where silk workers demanded better wages and working conditions. The strike involved around 25,000 workers, primarily immigrants, who faced long hours and low pay in the silk mills. The strike was notable for its organization and the involvement of various labor groups, including the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Despite widespread support and solidarity, the strike ultimately ended in failure, highlighting the challenges faced by labor movements during that era.
