The Labor Movement
The labor movement was an attempt for workers to gain better pay, better working conditions, and reasonable hours for work.

There were many influential leaders in the labor movement, including Samuel Gompers and John L. Lewis.
Politics
The government sided with the anti-unionists in the debate, but this didn't stop the unions. The Red Scare also played a major role in the politics of the movement.
