labor union
By the 19th century efforts to improve workers' conditions became more frequent, by negotiation or strike. many unions fought to reduce the working day from 12 hour to 10 they also took into consideration of legal protection from exploitation. but sadly labor unions were not very successful, many strikes failed and hard times during the great depression.one of these labor union was the knights of labor, who fought for equal pay for workers with the same job and 8 hour workdays ad to end child labor, but like many of other labor union it collapsed due to lost of membership and failed strikes.
