Where early success did workers have using collective bargaining in New England?

In New England, early success for workers using collective bargaining was found in the shoe industry of Lynn, Massachusetts, during the late 1800s. The United Shoe Workers of America (USWA) union organized a series of successful strikes and negotiations that led to improved working conditions and higher wages for shoe workers. The USWA's success in Lynn paved the way for the organization of unions in other industries across the region and contributed to the broader rise of labor movements in the United States during that period.
