Unions fought the monopolies in order to gain more rights for the workers such as better living conditions, higher wages, 8 hour shifts, etc. The Sherman Act outlawed practices that are believed to be harmful to the consumers. Union strikes against railroads, coal, and other industries were stomped on because of this act. The monopolies convinced the American Government that the strikes imposed by the unions were "harmful" to the consumers. Therefore the Sherman Act was a double-edged sword that made the monopolies think more before they act (still the act didn't do that much) and it was used to bring down the unions that fought against the monopolies.
