Knights of Labor

The Knights of Labor was one of the most important American workers' organizations of the 19th century. The Knights of Labor was founded by seven members of the tailoring trade in Philadelphia, USA, in 1869 as a kind of secret brotherhood, called The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. Between 1878 and 1881 it was gradually opened up to people of all manufacturing professions, only factory workers as well as business owners, bankers, lawyers, speculators, stock market traders and Schnaphändler remained excluded. The size and influence of the organization of 1878 grew rapidly as a result of the renunciation of previous secrecy rituals. In its most successful time around 1886, it counted an estimated 700,000 members. The Knights of Labor were the first attempt to establish an all-open union in the US. After the end of the 19th century, the union lost many of its members after 1886, lost its meaning and was finally dissolved. Die Knights of Labor war eine der bedeutendsten amerikanischen Arbeiterorganisationen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Als eine Art geheime Bruderschaft, The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor genannt, wurde die Knights of Labor von sieben Mitgliedern des Schneiderhandwerks 1869 in Philadelphia, USA gegründet. Zwischen 1878 und 1881 wurde sie schrittweise für Menschen aller produzierenden Berufe geöffnet, nur Fabrikarbeiter sowie Geschäftsinhaber, Banker, Rechtsanwälte, Spekulanten, Börsenhändler und Schnapshändler blieben ausgeschlossen. Dadurch und durch den Verzicht auf frühere Geheimhaltungsrituale wuchsen die Größe und der Einfluss der Organisation von 1878 rapide an. In ihrer erfolgreichsten Zeit um 1886 herum zählte sie schätzungsweise 700.000 Mitglieder.. Die Knights of Labor waren der erste Versuch, eine für alle offene Gewerkschaft in den USA zu etablieren. Nach Richtungskämpfen, Missmanagement und erfolglosen Streiks verlor die Gewerkschaft nach 1886 viele ihrer Mitglieder, versank zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in die Bedeutungslosigkeit und wurde schließlich aufgelöst.
