Summary of Labor History in the U.S. Labor Union - An organization of laborers formed for the purpose of serving the members' interests including protecting their working conditions and improving wages. Early America(1860 –1890) Industry develops without protection for the workers – abuses, safety concerns What tragic incident eventually to led to protective legislation?

Industrial Era (1890-1920) Unions form to combat abuses Craft –based unions – unions that joined people together who worked in a similar craft Auto, welding, electrical, masonry, weaving Stronger the skill required for the job = stronger the union Small craft-based unions fought amongst themselves

1920s Unions lose appeal as they are divided by management and fight each other 1930s / New Deal Craft based unions merge to create strong / powerful unions AFL CIO

People who were typically excluded from unions Farm workers Domestic laborers Racial minorities Women’s professions 1960s Farm workers form their own strong powerful unions Today Union membership has declined drastically from what it was in the 1950s Fastest growing union is in the service industry (waiters, janitors, hotel clerks, etc.)
