Labor Rights Movement

The Labor Rights Movement is a social movement advocating for the rights and protections of workers. It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as workers sought better wages, safer working conditions, reasonable work hours, and the right to organize into unions. Activists pushed for laws and reforms to improve labor conditions and address inequalities between employers and employees. This movement has significantly influenced labor laws, leading to milestones like the establishment of the eight-hour workday and child labor laws, ultimately shaping modern workplace standards and rights we recognize today.
