Carpenters’ Company William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 9-3-18

The oldest extant labor organization in the United States is the Carpenters’ Company of the City and County of Philadelphia.

Granted it is a guild and not a union, and in fairness when it was formed in 1724 the City of Philadelphia did not have the the same boundaries as the County of Philadelphia.
