labor unions

Based upon what I read labor unions were? Good in my book because they prevented the factory workers from working long hours and finally came up with a plan to shorten them.

What the sweatshop was to me? It was a environment that was dangerous and difficult. Most workers worked long hours and got little pay.

Monopolists did not want unions because? I would have to say they didnt want them because Early growth of unions led to frequent violent clashes between workers and employers. And because the government often tried to intervene.

Many factory and sweatshop owners disliked the vision of unions like the IWW because? They didnt like the workers working that long.
