The United Textile Workers (UTW) was a labor union in the United States that represented workers in the textile industry. Founded in 1901, the UTW aimed to improve working conditions, wages, and job security for its members. The union played a significant role in advocating for workers' rights during a time when the textile industry was rapidly growing. Throughout its history, the UTW organized strikes and negotiations to address issues such as long hours and unsafe working environments. The union eventually merged with other labor organizations, contributing to the broader movement for workers' rights in the United States, including the efforts of AFL-CIO.
