Unions were established in the US primarily to advocate for workers' rights and improve labor conditions during the Industrial Revolution, when many workers faced long hours, low wages, and unsafe working environments. By banding together, workers aimed to negotiate better terms of employment, such as fair pay, reasonable hours, and improved safety standards. Unions also sought to provide a collective voice for workers, enabling them to push back against the growing power of employers and corporate interests. Over time, their efforts led to significant labor reforms and the establishment of various worker protections.
