National Trades Union

The National Trades Union was formed in the early 19th century in the United States, specifically around 1834, as one of the first attempts to create a national labor organization. It aimed to unite various trade unions to advocate for workers' rights, better working conditions, and fair wages. The union sought to promote cooperation among different labor groups and to address issues such as long working hours and low pay. Although it faced challenges and dissolved by the late 1830s, it laid the groundwork for future labor movements and the development of more organized labor advocacy in the country.
