Labor Unions

Since it was secret its name in unknowable.

There can be no secret union, since unions must campaign for members, win representation elections, and negotiate contracts.

Governments protect rights, private clubs do not.

The first American labor union dated from before 1800, an association of shoe makers in Philadelphia called the Knights of St. Crispin. Workmen's Associations became the backbone of Andrew Jackson's supporters. By the end of the Civil War, there were lots of "unions" but they were local and had little contact with each other. In 1866 that changed when William Sylvis organized the National Labor Union and worked to organize workers in many different states and of different occupations. Sylvis believed that labor needed to become political to gain worker's rights, better wages, and safe working conditions. In 1869, a group of tailors, led by Uriah P. Stephens, formed the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. They spread their message in secret, organizing workers of different jobs but not getting political. They realized that labor organizers and labor members would be fired by employers, so the Knights remained a secret organization as long as it could The Knights differed from the NLU also in that they accepted Blacks and women and unskilled workers. In 1879, Stephens was replaced by Terence V. Powderly, an the Knights became a labor powerhouse. The Knights continued to grow until the infamous Haymarket Square tragedy was unfairly blamed on the Knights, by business owners and officials. In 1866, a union organized that was composed of several associations of skilled workers. This union came to be called the American Federation of Labor and grew and held many successful strikes under the leadership of Samuel Gompers.

I have found that unionization is not supported but the other two are by Nike. After hours of reading articles this is as specific as I could find.

The history of labor unions goes back to the guild system in Europe. Members of a guild (a certain profession) tried to protect their guild by controlling who could become a member, a stage of apprenticeship, the cost of the merchandise, and advancement in the guild. A guild was the first attempt of workers organizing according to their own rules rather than the rules of the employer. Guilds were craft unions. Made up of people that made one thing, or did one thing. Trade unions developed in the Industrial Revolution in Europe and the US. The trade unions were created to protect the workers and were not exclusive of any particular kind of worker. The first trade union in the US was the National Labor Union, founded in 1866. It failed and was soon replaced by the Knights of Labor, 1869. The Knights of Labor and the more successful American Federation of Labor (AFL), 1886, concentrated on the key issues of child labor opposition, demand for an eight hour day, and protection of the worker from unsafe working conditions and a decent wage. Labor Unions were developed to give the workers a group that could protect their health, jobs, and wages from owners of the factories and businesses that did not take into account the safety and health and necessity of a living wage for their workers. Labor Unions also fought for free, public education in the United States. They provided health and wage insurance. During times of a strike, they help with a strike fund and provide some money to the workers on strike. Unions give the workers a voice.

The only way they are similar is that they meet because of an interested in one form of work or occupation.

different:

A union is a organization of employees who want to bargain with the employer, and a guild is a just a club of people with similar interests.

Collective Bargaining was the negotiation between a group of workers and their employers concerning on wages, their hours and working conditions. The group of workers were usually represented in collective bargaining by a labor union

Labor Unions were intially organized in the US in order to meet the demands of the working class people and in order for workers to come together and make their voices, demands heard by their employers Some of the first labor unions were the:

- Knights of Labor ( unskilled workers, and women)

- Federation of Labor (for skilled workers, only white)

Some unions do help the employee get better health benefits, and they also help give the employee more money. But theirs also some unions that are greedy and force you to give them some of your earnings. So you decide

They have the right to make demands to a business and demand that they run their business the way they want them to, or they can go on strike.

the reason most people go on strike is because they want a raise or the employeer isn't meeting their expectations.

Workers strike either to protest alleged violations of labor law (unfair labor practice strikes) or to pressure the employer to agree to money issues in contract negotiation (economic strikes). All strikers can be replaced if they walk out. Economic strikers can be PERMANENTLY replaced.

American workers did not want increased immigration because they felt that business owners would hire new immigrants, who would often work harder and for less money. So skilled and experienced workers might lose their jobs or earn less.

Just stop cheating

Labor unions grew because workers needed someone to represent them. Workers were tired of poor and sometimes dangerous working conditions, low wages, and unreasonably long hours.

The Solidarnosc trade union was just a sign that huge part of Polish society is against a communism regime. The organization used to unite over 10 million of members what is undeniably a cogency, so Polish communistic government must've softened its policy. After 10 years of power struggles, the regime has approved Solidarnosc's pro democratic demands and fall down soon after.
