1955 – 1981
During the mid-20th century, workers’ rights activism gained momentum as labor unions and activists fought for fair wages, safer working conditions, and better work hours. Strikes and protests, often led by organized labor groups, pushed industries and governments to address the needs of workers. The movement led to significant changes, such as improved labor laws, the rise of collective bargaining, and better job security. This period also saw the expansion of workers’ rights to include healthcare benefits, pensions, and protection against discrimination, marking an important era for labor rights in the U.S. and around the world.
