Working Conditions: Steel workers: Coal miners: Textile workers: Industrial laborers worked long hours for little pay. They could be fired at any time for any reason. No laws regulated workers’ salaries Hundreds of thousands of children worked in factories

Labor Unions Form Dissatisfied workers organized into groups – labor unions – to demand better pay and working conditions. What were some of the Labor Unions formed?

Haymarket Riot – bloody clash between police & strikers in Chicago’s Haymarket Square in May 1886. Homestead Strike – clash between union strikers and strikebreakers at Andrew Carnegie’s steel plant in PA.
