When Society in a certain area develops enough it realizes that just like Socialism, unions are flawed in the way that not everyone should be equally rewarded because not everyone works at the same intensity level. This is normally the case in Unions; some people work their ass off and get paid the same as their coworkers that float by using the minimum effort that they can. Therefore, unions actually destroy productivity. This was not always the case. In the early 1900's, labor unions were a very important part of business because everyone worked with high levels of effort, and the business leaders did not reward their valiant efforts and the many fruits of their labors. That's not a strike against today's generations, it's just a fact that society has hit a stage of laziness for various reasons. Luckily, Society is a constantly developing idea. It is constantly melting into different stages. Therefore, Society will eventually become hard workers again. This is when labor unions will again become a large part of society. That is unless our economic processes advance to a point where labor unions become useless and an idea of absolute absurdity.

Why did labor unions become populur in the US?

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.
