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.
