* Workers wanted higher wages, 8 hour work day, and the right to collective bargaining (to negotiate on behalf of other members)

Unions were formed to protect and improve the rights of workers. Their first order of business was to establish the eight-hour workday and in 1866, the national labor union was formed. Labor movements were around before 1866, but few organized up until this point. Unions created an environment for workers with difficult tasks, creating better pay, safer work conditions, and sanitary work conditions. Unions made life better for many Americans in the private sector. Collective bargaining became the way in which employers and a group of employees reached agreements, coming to a common consensus. From 1866 to the early 1900’s Unions continued to make headways increasing membership and power. The real gains started in 1933 after several pieces of legislature, which saved banks, plantations, and farmers. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) proposed an important, and controversial, amendment to the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933. It insisted that language from the pro-labor Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932 be added to the simple declaration of the right to collective bargaining. The setbacks the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) suffered in Little Steel and textiles in the latter half of 1937, and in Congress from 1938 to 1940, despite the gains made by the AFL, by 1940 the amendment had stalled. WWII created a rapid buildup within the industrial complex, creating more work for women and African Americans, overshadowing the union’s inability to project their power

In labor as in all things there is strength in numbers it is this strength that American labor unions provide. Labor unions provide a collective voice for those who had not previously been heard. As the professor in the “Frustrated Labor Historian” Dr. Horace P. Karastan is left with the dilemma what are the three most important events in American labor union history it would be difficult to choose with so many important moments. There are however several events that stand out as being turning points in giving employees unquestionable protections. The Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932 allowing employees the right to organize. Further the Wagner Act protecting employees from reprisal from employers for organizing spurring the growth of unionization. The Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 building on the Wagner Act as well as the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 which granted protections from the unions. It is these Acts that have changed the landscape of American labor union history and leave us with the unions that we have today.

Tensions between union supporters and management began mounting in the years preceding the strike. In April of 1994, the International Union

The husband of a close friend worked at one of the grocery stores at that time. He had a family to support and after a few weeks could not afford to participate any longer. He did not want his fellow employees to know, so he worked with the grocery store to work at another store almost an hour away from his home so that he could continue to receive a pay check. He was not the only one who did this out of necessity. The negative press regarding this situation and the ability of the large corporations to use this to their favor was significant. When union representation is effective and operates with a true understanding of both sides, they are further successful. Union leadership definitely needed a transformation, so perhaps unions will find their place again and find an opportunity to work with organizations and not against them to build stronger employee

The article shows the first reason as “the chaebol (the super-rich) rose to exercise immense influence on labour market restructuring.” The evidence of this reason is that the top 10 super riches have 84 percent of the country’s assets in 2012. It shows the second reason as “labour unions share the responsibility of having creating this insecure class.” Only 1.4 percent of irregular workers were participated to the labour unions, so the labour unions are hard to represent them. Finally, it shows the third reason as “the absence of a pro-labour party in South Korea’s institutional politics.” Because of the absence of a pro-labour party, the policies about labour and social protection were

The six important factors to consider about South Korea’s culture is their values, norms, religion, education, social mobility, and American influences. South Korea was built up by many core values, however the most important being Confucianism. Confucianism was founded over 2000 years ago in the fifth century BC and was the official ethical system of China (Hill, Rihcardson, & McKaig, 2009).
