History of US Labor Legislation
During the 1800s Industrial Revolution workers often worked long hours for very little
pay and in some instances, unsafe working conditions. These poor working conditions and the
lack of communication from owners/managers caused workers to ban together and form unions.
Unions were able to provide all workers a voice that everyone could hear and thanks to these
workers an new government department, The Department of Labor (DOL), was created in 1913
by President William Howard Taft. The Department of Labor was set up to provide assistance
for all workers by creating standards for companies to follow. These standards included safety,
wages, hours and benefits. Today, the DOL enforces more than 180 federal laws, which are all
geared towards the protection of workers’ rights. The timeline in this paper, will outline the
significant labor legislation that the Unites States went through, from 1890 to 1964, to ensure fair
and safe working conditions for all workers.
