The 8th of the Top 11 Labor History Landmarks in New York City is the Carnegie Hall.

While shirtwaist makers continued striking for fairer working conditions, the Women Trade Union League, the Political Equity League, New York’s Liberal Club, and the Socialist Women’s Committee organized a solidarity meeting that was held at Carnegie Hall on January 2, 1910. Filling the hall to capacity, attendees rallied in support of the women on the picket lines and resolved to raise funds for those who had been arrested for protesting.
