What did Unions do during the 1920s...? I the time of the Gilded Age where the economy was stimulated and the concept of profit making grew larger and more popular, Unions formed. "Union" is a word which describes an organisation or a group of workers, the Union's purpose is to protect, promote and serve the workers' rights, such as working conditions, wages and interests. Workers collectively bargained and protested to find agreements with employers. During the Gilded Age, employers of companies often violated contract provisions, they limited and restricted the workers' rights to get higher interests from the productions The role of Unions during the Gilded Age was to prevent those restrictions and limitations set by employers which prevented them to prosper or live affordable life styles. The working conditions during the Gilded Age were inhuman, employers abused of the workers rights to get full profits by reducing wages, increasing working hours and investing less on safety of the company. Unions organised protests by striking, refusing to work and interrupting activity in the companies. In relation to the film "Matewan", Unions wanted to protect their rights and therefore saw foreign workers as an offence to their effort of mobilization. They discouraged and threatened scabs to join the company as shown in the scene of the "Matewan" movie. The Union reflected and represented the workers, it preserved and protected their working conditions and provided them with courage and determination.
