The establishment of workers' rights organizations marked a significant step towards improving labor conditions and advocating for equitable treatment in the workplace. These organizations, including unions such as the AFL and the International Workers of the World, aimed to empower workers through collective bargaining and campaigns for fair wages and safer working environments. Their advocacy was pivotal in achieving key reforms, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, which established minimum wages and restricted child labor. These organizations remain fundamental to labor rights discussions today.
