Labor unions have long played a part in US history and have had a continuous impact on the US economy and labor laws.

From the mid-1600’s on into the present labor unions have played an important role in the economy of the United States and led to the creation of many labor laws that protect the rights of workers and guarantee safeguards to continue that protection on into the future. They have had such a positive impact for workers that Franklin D. Roosevelt is quoted as saying, "If I went to work in a factory, the first thing I would do is join a union."

Union Demands Improve Conditions for Everyone

Every organization that involves groups of people has down sides but unions have helped their members and nonmembers by demanding certain benefits for their members. Over the years unions’ demands have helped to make major, lasting, improvements in labor laws and labor relations. These changes have led Congress to pass certain Acts for the benefit of all working people. In the past violence, strikes, and walk-outs were employed to force the make employers aware of the seriousness of laborers, regarding their demands, but today that is no longer the norm, as unions have found other ways to be heard.
