Hopedale strike

1913 American loom manufacturer strike

The Hopedale strike was a labour dispute at the American loom manufacturer Draper Company in Hopedale, Massachusetts. It began in April 1913 and disintegrated after three months. The strike came amid a wave of regional strikes that year, as Draper's 2,000 employees walked out on April 1 for a nine-hour day, a 22-cent minimum hourly wage, and the end of piecework.
