The Rise of Labor Unions!


Today in class we are continuing the discussion started yesterday on the origins of Labor Unions. Going further today we are looking at what a union provides and what they mean to their members. Using a "Double Bubble" compare and contrast chart we are examining the division between management and labor, and the similarities and difference between them in the workplace. Terms like "blue collar and white collar" are explained along with the way the workers are paid.
