Commemorating the life and legacy of labor pioneer Kate Mullany in honor of Women's History Month.
HRES 218 is a symbolic House resolution commemorating labor pioneer Kate Mullany during Women's History Month. It honors her founding the first all-female union in U.S. history (the Collar Laundry Union of Troy in 1864), leading strikes for fair wages and safer conditions, and becoming the first woman appointed to a national labor union leadership role in 1868. The resolution highlights her role in advancing workers' rights and her legacy as a model for women in labor organizing. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect but formally recognizes her historical contributions to labor and women's history.
