Description
The 2025 Solidarity Forever Labor History Calendar is on the press. We are accepting orders, which will be filled immediately as we receive copies from the printer.
This year’s calendar features 12 photos from labor struggles spanning the 20th century, from interracial organizing in Hawaii that won a 79-day strike against the plantation owners who dominated the local economy to factory occupations that swept France in 1936, winning shorter hours, higher pay, and the reinstatement of blacklisted unionists.
We remember the 1974 miners strike that put Britain on a three day workweek and toppled the government, and a Chicago teachers union leader who was back on the picket line just weeks after serving a month in jail for defying an anti-strike injunction. We remember the timber workers who organized an interracial union in the South in 1912 and a 1972 strike of workers in New Orleans’ water system. And we look back to the Pekin, Illinois, general strike, where workers in this 1,500-person town shut it down in solidarity with distillery workers attacked by the police and quickly won their demands.
The calendar opens to 11 by 17 inches, features a full-color cover, and black and white photos from labor history for each month. It is union printed. A bundle of five copies is $41.95 postpaid to the U.S. and Canada; write us for bulk rates.

“I want to express my gratitude for making the Labor History Calendar available. For years I have been purchasing it and find that it contains enormous information about labor history, both in the United States and internationally. As a former steelworker turned labor historian it is of immense value to me in teaching my students labor history by reminding me of the labor events that have taken place in the past.” — M.B., Houston
