Extension Reading #2
To Trade Union Women
Labor Unions were organized to regulate working conditions in the
factories. These groups tried to protect the rights of the workers in
canneries and factories. They advocated for laws to ensure these
rules were carried out. They also let the public know about unfair
and dangerous conditions that workers had to face in their jobs. The
article below was published in 1913 in a newspaper called Life and
Labor. It was written by Mary E. Dreier, an advocate for the rights
of women and children.
