Why did labor unions grow during the industrial revolution?
During the Industrial Revolution, some business owners were taking advantage of workers, with low wages, long hours and unsafe working conditions. When a worker approached anyone about these conditions, they were fired or told to take it or leave it, leaving them with no choice but to work through the harsh environment in order to make a living for themselves or their families. Labor Unions were developed to give the workers a voice in the work place. It set up specific laws and rules that the business owners had to abide by or face penalties. It gave workers a way to speak out about unfairness, unsafe environments, and gave them rights such as time off, sick pay and retirement plans. During the industrial revolution, however, unions did not play much of a role, later as the 19th century progressed labor unions emerged as important organizations for workers. Sick pay, as one example was a 20th century benefit.

What is The knights of labor?
The Knights of Labor was a labor union organized in 1869 by a group of tailors led by Uriah P. Stephens. They were a semi-secret Labor Union because at that time, men who joined Unions or attempted to organize workers were fired from their jobs. The Knights did not put emphasis on politics, like earlier unions, but stressed better working conditions, better pay, and job safety. The Knights welcomed all workers but saloonkeepers, lawyers, and gamblers. They did accept women and African-Americans as members, but not Roman Catholics. The Knights also attracted unskilled workers, a group that had not been unionized prior to the Knights. Terence V. Powderly succeeded Stephens as Union leader and made the Knights more public and acceptable to Catholics. The membership continued to grow. While Powderly did not like strikes, the Knights did win a series of strikes against employers. The beginning of the end of the influence of the Knights of Labor was the 1886 Haymarket Square strike. Membership fell when the Knights were unfairly accused of causing the strike.

Why weren't labor unions successful during the Guilded Age?
Three notable labor unions were formed: the National Labor Union, Knights of Labor, and American Federation of Labor. The first two failed due to different reasons, while the AFL succeeded. The AFL sought to protect all skilled workers and wanted a fair share of labor. They didn't push for extreme reforms only shorter hours, increased conditions, and wages. Even after the panic of 1893 they continued to grow (500,000 members).
