He was a co-founder of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America with Frank Rosenblum in 1914. By 1935, the ACWA had negotiated contracts at most of the men's clothing stores in Cleveland, making it one of the largest labor unions in the area. He also co-founded the Cleveland Industrial Union Council, the local affiliate of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).

After college, Garfinkel worked in his family's seven-store chain Garfinkel Shoes. He was appointed office manager of the company in the early 1960s, but was encouraged by his father to pursue his dream of teaching. He obtained a position at Kent State University in 1963 and taught there until his retirement in 1996. Garfinkel had a special interest in oral history. One of Garfinkel's oral history projects was on the garment industry in Cleveland, Ohio. He interviewed several people who worked in or helped shape the garment industry. He then used those interviews to produce a slide show entitled "Rags: 100 Years of the Apparel Industry in Northeast Ohio," and a television documentary entitled "Rags." The collection consists of interview transcripts and scripts. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5106.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT
