Workers' history

Workers' history refers to the struggles and achievements of laborers over time, focusing on their rights, conditions, and roles in society. Beginning in the Industrial Revolution, workers faced harsh conditions with long hours and low pay. In response, labor movements emerged, advocating for better rights, such as the eight-hour workday, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Key events, like the formation of unions and strikes, helped secure these rights. Over the years, various laws have also been enacted to protect workers, shaping modern labor practices and contributing to social and economic progress.
