United Farm Workers: The United Farm workers are a labor union that was created solely for the farmworkers in the United States. The origins of this labor union came about from two different existing organizations known as the “Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee led by Larry Itliong and the National Farm Workers Association led by Cesar Chavez, and Dolores Huerta. These two organizations decided to work together to fight stronger together for their rights.

Labor Unions have had an effect of American history as well as world-wide history from the time they became popular. Following WWII Americans were predominantly pro-labor, however, as time went on union’s credibility fell short of perfect. Union strikes proved to be bothersome to both the general public and company. Unions were also suppressing to employees through fraud and lack of worker rights (in earlier years, before Acts were passed). Although Union labor had its shortcomings, this type of labor is noted to be the most productive and economically beneficial. With both sides shown, I feel Unions will again thrive in the future with a few key adjustments made.

In the second half of the nineteenth century trade unionism became much more recognized by governments. The government recognized that it is the right of workers to organize. This fundamental common law principle became a freedom of contract or the concept that people should be free to make bargains with each other and that the law should enforce such contracts if necessary. This became legalized in the year 1871 and by the year 1875 picketing also became legal. By the year 1884 these unions became legalized by France’s Third Republic and also in Germany in 1890. These unions became corporations able to own property and to sue and be sued. This enabled these unions

After years of harsh working conditions and low wages for many workers nationwide, the Knights of Labor was formed in 1869, but was most powerful during the 1870s/1880s.

In 1886, the Knights of Labor and workers around the country began to demand the eight-hour workday declaring “Eight hours to constitute a day’s work” as their slogan.

In the year 1917, the construction on the current Wisconsin State Capitol building was finally completed. Now, in 2017, the capitol is celebrating its 100th birthday, and it looks just as good as it did back then. The Wisconsin State Capitol serves many purposes to the state government, as well as to the community as a whole. While most people would only think of the government related events that happen at the capitol, there is so much more that happens at in and around the building than people realize. One use of the capitol that civilians wouldn’t think about is the ceremonies that award army personal for their hard work and promotions. I have witnessed a ceremony there where a colonel in the National Guard became a general. The

Roni Dean-Burren’s perspective on the media is that is not always correct and everyone have the power to correct it. In the text "Workers" or slaves?

Since the formation of human civilization, the purpose of the civil worker has gone unquestioned, and only until recently, unaltered. The job of the civil worker was a simple one: work during the day, sleep during the night, and repeat the process each day until the worker was unable, be it by death or disability.
