The outcome of the American labor movement significantly impacted federal legislation, resulting in improved labor rights and protections for workers. Through collective bargaining and activism, labor unions successfully advocated for laws regarding minimum wage, working hours, and occupational safety. Landmark legislation, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, established standards for minimum wage and overtime. The labor movement's efforts contributed to a growing awareness of workers' rights, leading to increased regulations on businesses and ushering in a new era of labor relations in the United States.
