Us-New York Newspapers-Strike

American workers from New York Daily Mirror stage a picket line on February 18, 1963, in New York during New York City newspaper strike. The 1962 New York City Newspaper Strike ran from December 8, 1962 until March 31, 1963, lasting for a total of 114 days. The strike began at 2:00 AM on December 8, when workers from the New York Typographical Union, led by their president Bert Powers, walked out from the Daily News, New York Journal American, The New York Times, and New York World-Telegram & Sun. In addition, the New York Daily Mirror, New York Herald Tribune, New York Post and both the Long Island Star Journal and Long Island Press all suspended operations on a voluntary basis. The newspapers kept their offer of an $8 increase per week spread over two years, while the unions were looking for a $38.82 increase in the two-year period. AFP PHOTO / AFP PHOTO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and determination of American workers from the New York Daily Mirror as they stage a picket line during the historic New York City newspaper strike of 1962-1963. The image, taken on February 18,1963, in New York, serves as a powerful reminder of the industrial strife that engulfed the city for a staggering 114 days. Led by their president Bert Powers, members of the New York Typographical Union took to the streets at 2:00 AM on December 8, walking out from prominent newspapers such as The New York Times and Daily News. Even voluntary suspensions were observed by other major publications like the Herald Tribune and Post. The photograph showcases these dedicated employees standing shoulder to shoulder along the picket line, united in their demand for fair wages. While management offered an $8 increase per week over two years, unions fought for a more substantial $38.82 raise within that same period. As we gaze upon this square-shaped snapshot captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), it becomes evident how deeply ingrained this struggle was in American history. This visual testament symbolizes not only a fight for better working conditions but also represents an era when press freedom clashed with labor rights. In its simplicity yet profoundness, this print encapsulates an important moment in North American labor history—a time when ordinary individuals stood up against corporate power to secure their rightful place in society.
