WEBMost Paterson silk strikers were weavers –roughly 15,000 of the 23,000 strikers. Silk weavers had created a good way of life. Over decades of struggle in Paterson, they had established a nine-hour day, good working conditions, good wages, and the right to picket and strike. Some weavers owned houses in Paterson or its suburb of Haledon.
