UK labour movement

The UK labour movement is a social and political effort aimed at improving the rights and conditions of workers. It began in the 19th century with the rise of trade unions, which help workers negotiate better pay and working conditions. Over time, this movement led to significant reforms, including the introduction of laws for fair wages, safe working environments, and social benefits. Key milestones include the establishment of the Labour Party in 1900, which represents workers' interests in politics. Today, the labour movement continues to advocate for workers' rights in response to changing economic and social challenges.
