Many labor unions were formed in the USofA prior to the 1800's and before that, there were labor societies known as "guilds" throughout Europe & Asia for millenia.
Your presupposition that labor unions could not be formed in the 1800's is probably based in the notion that labor unions had no power to effect broad based change until the federal government became involved. The error of this notion is two-fold: labor societies (in the form of guilds) prospered long before there was a USofA & the federal government did not profit the labor societies so much as it put the labor societies at odds with the market.
