1920s American Labor Movement

The 1920s American Labor Movement was a period of struggled progress, as workers sought better conditions, fair pay, and rights to organize. After World War I, labor unions faced setbacks due to government suspicion and anti-union sentiments. Despite challenges, some strikes and organizing efforts highlighted worker dissatisfaction. The decade saw limited legal protections, and violent clashes like the Battle of Blair Mountain reflected tensions. Overall, the movement laid groundwork for future gains in labor rights, even as it faced setbacks in a period marked by economic growth and social change.
