Why did workers think that forming organized labor unions would help them get what they wanted from employers?
Workers thought that forming labor unions would help get them what they wanted from their employers because the huge amount of people increased pressure on the employer, as huge numbers of people working for the same cause have more power over a small group of people. When angered, this group can wreak havoc, depending on their motives and passion, as demonstrated in the many riots that occured in the early 1900s.

What do you think of labor union?
The purpose of a labor union is to protect its members from unfair business practices, guarantee a safe work environment, insure a fair wage and benifits, like health insurance or vacation days, the right to bargain with the employer (collective bargaining), and provide other benefits to its members like help finding jobs, pensions, job training, etc. The history of labor unions goes back to the guild system in Europe. Members of a guild (a certain profession) tried to protect their guild by controlling who could become a member, a stage of apprenticeship, the cost of the merchandise, and advancement in the guild. A guild was the first attempt of workers organizing according to their own rules rather than the rules of the employer. Guilds were craft unions. Made up of people that made one thing, or did one thing. Trade unions developed in the Industrial Revolution in Europe and the US. The trade unions were created to protect the workers and were not exclusive of any particular kind of worker. The first trade union in the US was the National Labor Union, founded in 1866. It failed and was soon replaced by the Knights of Labor, 1869. The Knights of Labor and the more successful American Federation of Labor (AFL), 1886, concentrated on the key issues of child labor opposition, demand for an eight hour day, and protection of the worker from unsafe working conditions and a decent wage.

What is the Liberal view on labor Unions?
Conservatives believe that labor unions do not have a place in the US. Unions represent only as small portion of the American work force yet they seem to exercise more power than they have. They strike for higher wages and better benefits, refusing to work till their demands are met. Conservatives see this as blackmail, because they wont work till they get what they want. Many of our most important workers have labor unions, such as teachers, or construction workers. Theses are key positions in the economy and if they don't work it throws everything off. They fail to see how their actions effect the world around them, that by striking they can make other people lose their jobs. And due to that fact that they demand higher wages, the cost to consumers will be high as a result. Conservatives wish to greatly limit union power. They also dislike that in order to be part of a unions you must pay dues, they think it is a violation to the workers rights. But all this is not to say that conservatives don't care for worker rights. But they do not think that labor unions are the right way to go about it.
