Why did labor unions become populur in the US?
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. Labor Unions were developed to give the workers a group that could protect their health, jobs, and wages from owners of the factories and businesses that did not take into account the safety and health and necessity of a living wage for their workers. Labor Unions also fought for free, public education in the United States. They provided health and wage insurance. During times of a strike, they help with a strike fund and provide some money to the workers on strike. Unions give the workers a voice.
