Labor laws & Workers rights

During the 1920s workers had little rights. They would often go on strikes to get better worktimes and pay. Laborers lost many protections they had gained previously.The workers would go aganist their employers

Labor failed in the 1919 strikes for a variety of reasons. Isolation, ethnic divisions, and internal political conflicts within the labor movement fragmented what should have been unified efforts and thus under-mined workers' goals. Outside the labor movement, the Red Scare—American political fears of Bolshevism and Communism in general after the Russian Revolution of 1917—mobilized forces against organized workers and the entire American Left. Striking workers were defeated by Red Scare terror tactics, combative responses from employers, and fragmentation within their own ranks.
