Factory workers (and just about any other kind of worker you can think of) join unions to improve working conditions. By standing together as part of a union workers can have power to bargain for better working conditions, pay, and benefits. Alone a worker is just begging, he has little choice; he can accept the poor conditions, he can quit (sometimes the employer will try to find a reason to get rid of the employee, before he can try to organize other workers against the company,which is illegal), or he can try to form a union.
Two notable organizations that emerged from the Progressive Era are the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), founded in 1909 to combat racial discrimination and promote civil rights, and the American Federation of Labor (AFL), which aimed to organize skilled workers to improve labor conditions and wages. Both organizations played significant roles in advocating for social justice and workers' rights during a time of significant reform in the United States.
