The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union founding convention in 1900 included 11 local 
delegates representing roughly 2000 members. Reports and Proceedings of the Conventions of the 
International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union was published annually from 1900-1908, biennially from 
1908-1924, then sporadically until 1937 from which time the convention was held every three years until 
the union’s merger with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union in 1995 to form UNITE, the 
Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees. In addition to election of officers and committee 
reports, topics discussed include the working conditions, sweatshops, labor unity, organizing, wages and 
hours, union labels, boycotts, strikes, women’s garment industry, labor relations, internationalism, labor 
legislation, labor education, women’s rights, member benefits, and union health centers. The best 
available original was selected for digitization. Occasionally the original is difficult to read, missing pages,
