Garbage Strike in New York City: A Glimpse into Labor History (1911)
In November 1911, a strike by garbage collectors brought chaos to the streets of New York City. This striking photograph, taken by George Grantham Bain's news service, captures the essence of this industrial action. The image shows horse-drawn carts and men in uniform standing idle on cobbled streets as crowds gather around them.
The Garbage Strike was a significant event that highlighted labor disputes and employment issues during America's early 20th century. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the lives of working-class individuals who were fighting for their rights. The image also showcases the city's infrastructure, with horse-drawn vehicles navigating through crowded streets.
This historic print is part of Bain News Service's extensive collection, which documented significant events in American history during the early 20th century. It serves as a powerful reminder of labor struggles and social change that shaped America's past.
