People were driven to form unions primarily due to poor working conditions, low wages, and a lack of job security. Workers sought to collectively negotiate for better labor rights, including safer environments, reasonable hours, and fair pay. Additionally, the rise of industrialization intensified exploitation, which galvanized workers to unite for mutual support and strength against powerful employers. The desire for dignity and respect in the workplace also motivated individuals to sacrifice for unionization efforts.

Many working people belong to unions. This is true on a world wide basis. The laws concerning labor unions provide a basis for people to obtain a say with regards to pay and working conditions. Some unions, however, are prevented from total freedoms. As an example, teachers in the United States, are represented by "professional " unions. Nevertheless, there are areas where these unions can bargain with State departments of education,however, in many US States, there are statutes against teacher strikes.
Many people distrusted unions because some were organized by socialists.
They were not illegal. Unionisation was not allowed in some areas of industry and business, the armed forces for instance.
