Workingmen's Parties

Workingmen's Parties were labor-oriented political groups formed in the 19th century to represent the interests of working-class people. They aimed to improve wages, working conditions, and social rights through political advocacy and reform. These parties emerged as a response to industrialization’s challenges, seeking to give workers a voice in government and address economic inequalities. While some evolved into broader labor movements or political parties, their core focus was strengthening worker rights and promoting social justice within the evolving capitalist economy.
