Texas Labor Movement

The Texas labor movement is a collective effort by workers and unions to improve working conditions, wages, and benefits across the state. Historically, it has aimed to advocate for fair treatment, safer workplaces, and workers’ rights through strikes, negotiations, and political actions. While the movement has faced challenges due to Texas’s historically limited labor protections and strong business interests, it continues to evolve, emphasizing workers’ voice in industries like energy, healthcare, and manufacturing. Overall, it seeks to balance economic growth with fair, equitable treatment for employees in Texas.
