  3. In 1778 printers in New York joined together demanding higher pay, this was the first example of organized labor • At the end of the civil war two types of unions existed trade/ craft unions or industrial union • Unions tried to help workers negotiate higher pay, better hours, and working conditions • Unions used strike, picket, and boycott to try and pressure employers Labor unions

  4. Employers try to curb union and labor enthusiasm by using lockouts Employers would also go to court to attack unions like the United Hatters Union in 1902 In 1914 with the Clayton Antitrust Act labor unions became exempt from being prosecuted Labor unions

  5. The great depression unified workers partly because wage dropped from 55 cents an hour to 5 cents an hour from 1929 to 1933 • The Norris LaGuardia Act of 1932 prevented courts from ruling against Unions that were engaged in peaceful strikes, picketing, or boycotting • The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 limited union activity in disputes, disallowed membership for hire practices, provided 80-day strike break, and gave states the right to work ability Labor unions

  6. Collective bargaining is between labor and management some ways to resolve this include mediation, arbitration, fact-finding, injunction, and seizure Labor unions

  7. Unemployment rate- ratio of unemployed individuals divided by the total number of workers Anti-Trust laws- laws that help deter legally formed combinations of corporations or companies labor
