Labour History

Labour history is the study of the development, struggles, and achievements of workers and their organizations, particularly trade unions, over time. It examines how workers have organized for better wages, working conditions, and rights, reflecting broader social and economic changes. Key events include strikes, labor movements, and legislation affecting workers' rights. By understanding labour history, we gain insight into the relationship between labor and capital, the impact of industrialization, and the ongoing fight for social justice in the workplace. This field highlights the importance of collective action in shaping modern societies.
