The Association of German Workers

The Association of German Workers, founded in the 19th century, was one of the first organized groups representing the interests of workers in Germany. It emerged during a time of industrialization, when many workers faced poor conditions and low wages. The association aimed to improve labor rights, promote social reforms, and establish better working conditions. It also played a pivotal role in the early labor movement, advocating for issues like fair pay and working hours. Over time, it contributed significantly to the development of trade unions and laid the groundwork for modern labor rights in Germany.
