The Industrial Revolution had profound effects on labor movements by catalyzing the rise of organized labor in response to harsh working conditions and exploitation. As factories proliferated, workers grappled with long hours, unsafe environments, and meager wages. This dissatisfaction led to collective action, including strikes and the formation of trade unions. Labor movements sought to secure better working conditions, living wages, and the right to organize. Prominent strikes such as the Pullman Strike showcased workers' determination, ultimately influencing labor laws and protections, paving the way for improved rights and standards in the workforce.
