Labour Movement
The Labour Movement refers to the organized effort of workers to improve their rights, working conditions, and wages. It encompasses various groups, including trade unions and worker associations, which advocate for fair treatment and better labor laws. The movement has played a significant role in shaping labor policies and social justice throughout history.
Historically, the Labour Movement emerged during the Industrial Revolution when workers faced harsh conditions and long hours. Key events, such as the formation of the American Federation of Labor and the International Labour Organization, have helped establish important labor rights, including the right to organize and collective bargaining.
