Growth of american labor movement

• industrialization, labor
• where people live
  • goin @ u, urbanization and social group!
• change for labor groups
  • distinction between different immigrant groups fade away
    • as class inside the massive inequality becomes the defining barriers
• we also have middle management
  • but really, the biggest layer is the laboring group
    • one of which, is children!
      • massive amount of supply of worker, so wages start going down
      • and also child labor is valuable because children can
        • fit in small places, step on things without breaking it, etc.
• because of this issue of child labor, people pushed for investing in child labor
• and also, galley labor
  • crazy amount of exploitation!

labor unrest is either in northern industrial cities or along the railroads which makes a lot of sense, as the railroads were the "lifeblood" specialization!

• capitalists also hired personal muscle
  • the Pinkerton detectives, for example
• management vs. labor was a big deal

title: scab
The term “scab” is a highly derogatory and “fighting word” most frequently used to refer to people who continue to work when trade unionists go on strike action. - *google*

• lot's of tools of management
  • blacklisting, breaking up strikes, etc
• likewise, tools of laborers
  • boycotts,
  • strikes, etc.
  • use numbers

one of the ways they did this was the knights of labor like in KBxCapatalismAndIndustrialization#the labor movement

AFL, another union, only cared about the skilled laborers had a strike fund!

marixism is coming to rise in europe socialism is rising in US which ofc becomes the antichrist of capatalism

about grouping and demonizing: haymarket vs negotiation
