Scenarios about 'labor unions'
Labor unions are organized associations of workers formed to advocate for improved wages, working conditions, and benefits through collective bargaining with employers. These worker organizations played a crucial role in industrial societies by counterbalancing corporate power, establishing labor protections, and influencing economic policy throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of union strength can dramatically alter economic systems, political alignments, and social welfare development.
