Origins and growth of early labor unions
The labor movement in the United States grew out of the need to protect the common interest of workers. The origins of the labor movement lay in the formative years of the American nation, when a free wage-labor market emerged in the artisan trades late in the colonial period. The earliest recorded strike occurred in 1768 when the New York journeymen tailors protested a wage reduction. The formation of the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers [shoemakers] in Philadelphia in 1794 marks the beginning of sustained trade union organization among American workers. For those in the industrial sector, organized labor unions fought for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. The labor movement led efforts to stop child labor, give health benefits and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired.
