In the late nineteenth century, the American workforce underwent significant changes due to industrialization, leading to a shift from agrarian jobs to factory work, with many laborers facing long hours, low wages, and unsafe conditions. This transformation spurred the growth of organized labor movements, as workers began to unite in unions to advocate for better working conditions, fair pay, and the right to collective bargaining. Strikes and protests, such as the Haymarket affair and the Pullman strike, reflected the increasing tensions between laborers and employers, as well as government intervention. Ultimately, these organized efforts laid the groundwork for future labor rights advancements.
