Address to the Georgia State University history club, 29 January 1973

A production of Georgia State University of a talk given by Eula Grant of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union to the GSU History Club. Grant details her initial exposure to unions through her parents and then as a young worker in a textile factory in the years before unions were protected by law. She helped organized the union in her first plant and was fired for doing so, and then worked with the Women's Trade Union League; which was responsible for the formation of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. Grant talks about the violence early union organizers and potential members faced as well as the continued need for unions in a time when many workers' paychecks are committed to installment plans and when they work for conglomerates rather than local business owners.
