    During the Industrial Revolution, the working conditions in factories, mills, and mines were worst. The unions organized strikes and tried to negotiate with the employers for better working conditions and wages. When employers tried to replace striking labours, the labours sometimes fought back.

    In some cases, things became so violent that the government had to step in and sort out the situation. One of the reason behind the failure of labour union was that there were no law passed by legislation to safeguard the interest of labour. Other reason was that many of the labour do not belonged to the union. The last reason by which union didn't succeed was, court supported the big business owners.
