Trade unions developed in the Industrial Revolution in Europe and the US. The trade unions were created to protect the workers and were not exclusive of any particular kind of worker. The first trade union in the US was the National Labor Union, founded in 1866. It failed and was soon replaced by the Knights of Labor, 1869. The Knights of Labor and the more successful American Federation of Labor (AFL), 1886, concentrated on the key issues of child labor opposition, demand for an eight hour day, and protection of the worker from unsafe working conditions and a decent wage. Workers during the Depression needed help and protection when they did find a job. The Unions and Business agreed to the labor condition of the Blue Eagle Codes, but that was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. After WW II started, the unions agreed, for the most part, to work without strikes until after the war.
