Working-Class Movement

The Working-Class Movement refers to the collective efforts of workers to improve their rights, wages, and working conditions, particularly during the Industrial Revolution and beyond. Spurred by poor labor conditions, workers began to organize into unions and political groups to advocate for better pay, shorter hours, and safe workplaces. This movement aimed to challenge the power of employers and promote social justice, leading to significant changes like labor laws and social protections. Over time, it has influenced political systems and discussions about economic equality, labor rights, and the role of workers in society.
