As we examined labor and industrialization in the late 19th century, this podcast give an in depth look at labor organizations, and their functions. As workers began to understand their value in the face of Robber Barons' increasing profits, unions helped establish rights, working conditions, and collective bargaining agreements to aid workers.
Finally, you might want to examine the three major unions addressed on AP US History exams a bit more than we did in class:
Knights of Labor
The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) aka the Wobblies
The American Federation of Labor (AFL)
