The Industrial Revolution profoundly impacted labor laws, precipitating a transformation in working conditions and social relations. As factories proliferated, workers faced long hours, low wages, and unsafe environments. In response to exploitation, labor unions emerged, advocating for better working conditions and rights. This led to legislative reforms in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including limits on work hours, child labor regulations, and improvements in workplace safety standards. The revolutionized economy necessitated a legal framework to protect workers, influencing labor rights movements and shaping modern labor policies worldwide.
