How did Americans force management in the clothing industry to pay their workers more fairly?

They did not really force management, they forced regulations of the clothing industry, which included better working conditions for employees. This started after the triangle shirtwaist fire. In Theodore's Roosevelt's presidency, he implemented his "Square Deal", which has three C's: Control of corporations, Conservation, and Consumer Protection. The control of corporations part involved an attack on large corporations abusing their power through "trust busting". He enacted the Heburn act, which gave power to the Interstate regulatory commission, which increased regulations upon many large monopolies. He also gave more power to Unions, which helped push for worker's rights. You should also know that since governmental power increased after WWII, large regulation upon industry has been enacted, ever since America came out of the Gilded age. There are more examples in multiple presidencies, but I'm not writing an essay.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
