Laundry organizations exist in San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. There are no unions in Los Angeles and San Diego. Some years ago these two cities had small unions but the last remnants of them have disappeared. The laundry situation in San Francisco is of peculiar interest as it is an universal belief that women are difficult to organize, but the laundries in San Francisco, where so many women are employed, have the distinction of being highly organized. Not a single steam laundry in San Francisco remains outside of the union agreement so far as could be discovered. The lowest wage under the union agreement is $7.00 per week. This is for apprentices in the shaking room and is permissible for two weeks only, after which period $8.00 must be paid. The mangle girls receive $8.50 and all folders $9.00 per week. Women on certain small machines, such as the cuff press and collar ironer are also paid this rate. Those who do starching and sewing receive $9.00 per week, as do the ironers for the first six months. The wages of tiers, feeders, dampeners and dry house hands are $10.00 per week. Body ironers and hand ironers receive in their second six months $10.50 per week. Ironers after the first year must be paid $11.50. This is also the rate for the Jumbo ironer. Polishers and shirt press operators receive $13.50 per week. Markers and distributors receive from $18.00 to $22.50 per week. The union rates determine the minimum in each grade only and an exceptionally good worker can in most cases obtain more than union rates. A few laundries make it a rule never to pay any one in excess of union regulations. Others do so in individual cases, but wish to have the fact kept a secret for fear the union will raise...

Download or read book Earning Power written by Eileen Wallis and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The half-century between 1880 and 1930 saw rampant growth in many American cities and an equally rapid movement of women into the work force. In Los Angeles, the city not only grew from a dusty cow town to a major American metropolis but also offered its residents myriad new opportunities and challenges.Earning Power examines the role that women played in this growth as they attempted to make their financial way in a rapidly changing world. Los Angeles during these years was one of the most ethnically diverse and gender-balanced American cities. Moreover, its accelerated urban growth generated a great deal of economic, social, and political instability. In Earning Power, author Eileen V. Wallis examines how women negotiated issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and class to gain access to professions and skilled work in Los Angeles. She also discusses the contributions they made to the region’s history as political and social players, employers and employees, and as members of families. Wallis reveals how the lives of women in the urban West differed in many ways from those of their sisters in more established eastern cities. She finds that the experiences of women workers force us to reconsider many assumptions about the nature of Los Angeles’s economy, as well as about the ways women participated in it. The book also considers how Angelenos responded to the larger national social debate about women’s work and the ways that American society would have to change in order to accommodate working women. Earning Power is a major contribution to our understanding of labor in the urban West during this transformative period and of the crucial role that women played in shaping western cities, economies, society, and politics.

Download or read book Italian Immigration in the American West written by Kenneth Scambray and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this carefully researched and engaging book, Kenneth Scambray surveys the lives and contributions of Italian immigrants in thirteen western states. He covers a variety of topics, including the role of the Roman Catholic Church in attracting and facilitating Italian settlement; the economic, political, and cultural contributions made by Italians; and the efforts to preserve Italian culture and to restore connections to their ancestral identity. The lives of immigrants in the West differed greatly from those of their counterparts on the East Coast in many ways. The development of the West—with its cheap land and mining, forestry, and agriculture industries\--created a demand for labor that enabled newcomers to achieve stability and success. Moreover, female immigrants had many more opportunities to contribute materially to their family’s well-being, either by overseeing new revenue streams for their farms and small businesses, or as paid workers outside the home. Despite this success, Italian immigrants in the West could not escape the era’s xenophobia. Scambray also discusses the ways that Italians, perceived by many as non-White, interacted with other Euro-Americans, other immigrant groups, and Native Americans and African Americans. By placing the Italian immigrant experience within the context of other immigrant narratives, Italian Immigration in the American West provides rich insights into the lives and contributions of individuals and families who sought to build new lives in the West. This unique study reveals the impact of Italian immigration and the immense diversity of the immigrant experience outside the East’s urban centers.
