The Working-Class Movement

The Working-Class Movement refers to efforts by employees and laborers to improve their working conditions, wages, and rights. It emerged during the Industrial Revolution, as mass production created harsh workplaces and exploitative practices. Workers organized through unions and strikes to demand fair treatment, better hours, and safety. The movement aimed to balance power between employers and employees, advocating for social justice and economic equality. Over time, it contributed to labor laws, workers’ protections, and broader social change, shaping modern employment rights and fostering a fairer workplace environment.
