Times of industrial revolution stand out as pivotal turning points for all western nations that brought prosperity and fast paced expansion. The rise of labour unions can be linked to Europe (in the late eighteenth century) and in North America (in the nineteenth century) where the movement from rural to urban life in order to work in factories and machines was the most pronounced. This max influx of workers into the WORKPLACE helped provide gains in PROFITS of developing industries, however at the expense of less than ideal working conditions.Labour unions arose because there were many who found difficulty in accepting how “BIG business” was run; on the backs of the workers in the factories who saw very LITTLE in compensation. Along with less money, MECHANIZED production of goods replaced household manufacturing, but these machines were difficult to use and could be dangerous to work with. Labour unions helped spread the balance of power more evenly so that labourers could bargain for more rights such as more pay and better working conditions.
