The first one that pops into my head is Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 by Markel.
There may be a couple of historical fiction titles in the Dear America series (these date from the 1990s.)

Good afternoon,

A teacher in my building is using the book Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix in her class and is seeking a lower reading level (3-4 grade) with the same setting/theme: New York city, immigrants, factory work - early 1900s.

Any suggestions that pop into your head would be appreciated! 
Thanks so much!
