German Labor Movement

The German Labor Movement was a social and political effort that emerged in the 19th century to improve workers' rights, wages, and working conditions. It involved the formation of trade unions, political parties like the Social Democratic Party, and workers' advocacy groups. The movement aimed to achieve economic justice, social equality, and influence government policies to protect workers. It played a significant role in shaping labor laws and social welfare systems in Germany, advocating for better labor standards and fostering a sense of solidarity among workers across different industries.
