Labor Vs. Management Conflicts between labor and management emerged over: Wages Working conditions As a result, workers will organize labor unions on the local and national level

Unions National Labor Union: Created in 1866 - fought for higher wages and an 8- hour workday Also sought equal rights for women and African Americans Knights of Labor: Led by Terrance Powderly - Skilled AND unskilled workers Sought to abolish child labor and trusts and monopolies Declined after the Haymarket Square Riot in 1886 American Federation of Labor: Led by Samuel Gompers - Skilled workers Focused on “bread and butter” issues - 8 hour workday, higher wages
