Trade Unions

5. If the government had supported Unions instead of management in the late nineteenth century, the lives of workers might have changed because the government would listen to what they were saying and they would provide them with the things they needed. Things such as money, shelter, and less hours on the job every day.
7. Workers formed Unions in the late nineteenth century because Unions made everyone equal and made everyone feel like they had dignity. Also, Unions protested against the unfair ways that bosses placed upon their workers. They demanded more money, less hours, and to have more power.
8. Many factors limited the success of Unions, such as that they were run by ordinary people and that their only supporters were mostly that of the poor. Also people would join them and some would not because they were afraid of losing a paying job.
