In England, worker's efforts to form unions was not well taken by the government. At first, English courts found unions to be illegal. The Combination laws decreed that workers who joined unions could be imprisoned. Because of mass disregard of these laws, Parliament in 1824 granted workers the right to form and join unions, however, they were not allowed to strike.
