The Labor Wars

The Labor Wars generally refer to a series of struggles in the early 20th century where workers and labor unions fought for better conditions, wages, and rights against employers and sometimes government forces. These conflicts often involved strikes, protests, and sometimes violent clashes as workers sought to organize and improve their economic and social standing. The conflicts highlighted tensions between capital and labor, leading to important labor reforms. Overall, they symbolize the effort of workers to gain fair treatment and influence over their working conditions in an industrializing society.
