How successful was organized labor in improving the position of workers in the period from 1875 to 1900? Analyze the factors that contributed to the level of success achieved.
American workers have organized to improve pay and working conditions since the earliest period of industrialization. By the end of the 19th century these unions made a major effort to make the lives of working people better. Although this was a period of intense labor pressure, unions failed to make the lives and status of workers better.

By the end of the 19th century these unions made a major effort to make the lives of working people better. They failed, however, since they were unclear in their demands and both state and federal governments used force to stop them.
