Samuel Gompers was a key figure in the growth of labor unions in the United States. He served as the president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) for 37 years, advocating for the rights of workers and improving their working conditions.

During the Industrial Revolution, some business owners were taking advantage of workers, with low wages, long hours and unsafe working conditions. When a worker approached anyone about these conditions, they were fired or told to take it or leave it, leaving them with no choice but to work through the harsh environment in order to make a living for themselves or their families. Labor Unions were developed to give the workers a voice in the work place. It set up specific laws and rules that the business owners had to abide by or face penalties. It gave workers a way to speak out about unfairness, unsafe environments, and gave them rights such as time off, sick pay and retirement plans. During the industrial revolution, however, unions did not play much of a role, later as the 19th century progressed labor unions emerged as important organizations for workers. Sick pay, as one example was a 20th century benefit.

Division of labor, helped increase productivity and gave birth to the factory system, which entailed increased division of labor and specialization of function.
Unions provide workers with collective bargaining power. The alternative is to cross ones fingers and hope that companies and corporations will be nice, play fair, and give raises when the cost of living goes up because "it's the right thing to do". I think anyone who's been an employee knows the likelihood of that happening. Sometimes unions do go too far when they shutdown essential services too long. But thanks to unions, most of us enjoy a 40 hour week (the norm before unions was 50 to 70 hours). As unions shrink so too does the benefits employers "give" to their workers. To find a job with a pension and health benefits is difficult and the unions are being slowly driven out of existence by corporations and government. Neither one of the above has any interest at all in having workers that have the power to strike, or to engage in collective bargaining. The interest of the people who are already rich and/or powerful (gov/corps) interest is in funnelling more money into the pockets of the CEO's and stock holders and out of the hands of workers. Anti-union stories in the media, which corporations and the government control, are all about convincing the average (non union) American worker that unions are bad, destructive and evil and so they use resentment to turn the average person against the unions also. By and large, it is working, which is unfortunate because most of what the media says about unions is patently FALSE. So as the American unions go, so does the American worker.
Trade Unions have many functions. Mainly, they represent the working in all issues relating to the working environment. Another functions is to play an active role in wage negotiations between the employer and employ. They also collectively bargain for better working conditions for their members and play an active role in resolving wage disputes.
