Labor Unions
While the Industrial Revolution is thriving, and is giving many of our immigrants jobs, the people working face many hardships. One of these being is that the business owners have taken advantage of workers. The owners do this by giving the workers low wages, long hours and unsafe working conditions. If a worker ever approaches anyone about these conditions, they are fired. This leaves workers with no choice but to work through the difficult environment in order to make a living for themselves or their families.
Labor Unions were made to give workers a voice in the work place. It basically sets up specific laws and rules that the business owners have to follow or face penalties. It gives workers a way to speak out about unfairness, unsafe environments, and gives them rights such as time off, sick pay and retirement plans.
