Workers Endure Difficulties As industrialization intensified, the success of the booming American economy relied heavily on its workers. But struggles between business owners and workers also intensified, as workers rebelled against low pay and unsafe working conditions. To keep the economy thriving, Americans had to find ways to ease the tensions between business owners and workers.

Workers Endure Difficulties Women working on a sewing machine in a shoe factory in the late nineteenth century.

The Growth of Labor Unions Industrialization and free enterprise lowered the prices of consumer goods but helped business investors gain large profits. Workers usually did not object to their employer making a profit from their work. After all, if the business was not profitable, it could close and leave workers jobless. Keeping companies profitable was in the best interest of the workers as well.

The Growth of Labor Unions Different labor unions continued to advocate for worker's rights.Analyze Tables How were all of these labor unions similar? What were some ways in which they differed?

Labor Unions Lead Protests As membership in labor unions rose and labor activists became more skilled in organizing large-scale protests, a wave of bitter confrontations between labor and management hit the nation. The first major strike occurred in the railroad industry in 1877. Striking workers, responding to wage cuts, caused massive property destruction in several cities. State militias were called in to protect strikebreakers, or temporary workers hired to perform the jobs of striking workers. Finally, the federal government sent in troops to restore order. In the decades to follow, similar labor disputes would affect businesses, the government, and the organization of labor unions themselves.
