labor disputes in history

Labor disputes occur when workers and employers have disagreements over conditions like wages, hours, or benefits. Throughout history, these disputes have led to strikes, protests, or negotiations as workers seek better treatment, while employers aim to maintain productivity. Notable examples include the Haymarket Riot (1886), the Pullman Strike (1894), and more recent strikes for fair pay. These disputes highlight tensions between labor rights and business interests, often influencing labor laws and workplace practices. They reflect ongoing efforts of workers to improve their working conditions and fair compensation in the face of economic and social change.
