Which of these statements about labor unions during the Industrial Revolution is most accurate?
Labor unions were quick to organize, but the change they campaigned for came about gradually
Labor unions were slow to organize and the changes they campaigned for came about very slowly
Labor unions were slow to organize, but the change they campaigned for came rapidly
Labor unions were quick to organize and the changes they campaigned for came rapidly
Labor unions were not organized until well after the end of the Industrial Revolution; they were illegal throughout Europe during the Industrial Revolution
Labor unions emerged relatively quickly after the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. In many ways they were a continuation of guilds and peasant organizations from the pre-industrial era. However, the change they campaigned for came about very slowly. In the early years the efforts of labor unions were blocked by the government, which was almost exclusively controlled by people who benefited financially from holding unions back. The rate of change accelerated over the course of the nineteenth century and eventually labor unions were able to affect most of the changes they desired - such as child labor laws, limit on working hours, and the two-day weekend.
