Monday Night Homework!

Welcome back, Welcome back. Hope you all had a good weekend.
This week we will be finishing up the Industrial Revolution. Today, we discussed certain scenarios that people went through during the industrial revolution: factory owners, assembly line workers, specialized workers and government officials. Most importantly the influence of Labor Unions. Labor Unions are groups of workers that join together to fight for the rights of workers. Labor Unions are responsible for the REFORM during the industrial revolution and making new laws to protect workers from the terrible factory conditions. We still have labor unions today that are very powerful!

Homework: Do you think we still need labor unions today? Explain.

Yes because if we didn't then company owners would way more abusive.Labor unions are sort of like a "civilized rebellion" in my eyes.For instance, The civil Rights movement is a "civilized rebellion" because they fought for their rights in a civil and non-violent way.The labor unions in America do the same except more better.

I think we do need unions today because maybe everybody would just learn to get along. Im not saying race wise im saying to get along in a political manner. Also because when we work some people might want us to work in a area that has bad sanitation conditions but the unions would help us out.
