The most supportive of a labor union would typically be the workers themselves, as they directly benefit from collective bargaining for better wages, benefits, and working conditions.

Why didn't labor unions ease the condition of workers in the 1800s?
It wasn't that Labor Unons could not ease the condition of workers, it was the fact that the government and business owners usually sided together against any gains the Unions would attempt. Labor union activity was considered illegal in a lot of states and was claimed to be a restraint of trade rather than an attempt to help workers. Labor organizers and labor members would be fired by employers if they tried to organize workers. Black Lists would be circulated among owners of business and industry with the names of labor organizers and workers who supported Unions, so they could not find jobs. When there were strikes, the owners were usually able to get injunctions against the strike and the authorities were authorized to break up the strikes.

Labor Unions would pull a double standard and claim that they would protect the rights of "all workers" EXCLUDING: women, minorities, and unskilled workers. Many unionists feared that minorities were big competition only because bosses payed them lower wages, and more likely to hire them. The hostility of American born workers towards immigrants as well, kept the union weak.
