The late 1800s in the united states saw the rise of labor unions, especially in the industrialized north. what was the impact of these labor unions on both employees and companies? consider for this response the purpose, goals, and actions of these labor unions. provide at least one clear example for the impact on employees and one clear example of the impact on companies.

This is huge and there are books written on this...

We are thinking about better wages, living wage in part so that families didn't have to rely on Child labor in the factories, etc. 

I'm also thinking better working hours, 8 hour workday, weekends, etc were all goals of the Unions in the late 1800s

Safe working environment was also an issue, some sort of workmans compensation for injuries on the jobs.

all sorts of stuff like that. 

An example would be the Great Railroad strike of 1877, over employers reducing wages, ect. 

He advocated for a separation of powers of the government and the ones enforcing the law.
