Labor movement

The labor movement is a group of people who come together to try to make things better for workers. People in the labor movement are usually trying to get workers better wages, better working conditions (like shorter hours and safer places to work), and more rights. They also work together to make sure that there are laws to protect workers. For example, the labor movement helped create laws that would make sure workers get paid a minimum wage and laws that would make sure employers can't discriminate against workers. It also helped create laws that would protect workers from getting fired without a good reason. The labor movement has helped millions of people get better jobs, better wages, and better working conditions.
