One of the major reforms during the Progressive Era was the establishment of labor laws to protect workers. Labor reforms aimed to improve working conditions, reduce child labor, and ensure fair wages. The era saw the implementation of regulations such as the eight-hour workday, minimum wage laws, and workplace safety standards. Progressive activists, including women and labor unions, played a crucial role in advocating for these changes. This reform movement was instrumental in addressing the excesses of industrialization and sought to promote social justice and equity, laying the groundwork for future labor rights movements.
