Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.7
How did public perception of labor unions change from the beginning to the end of the Gilded Age?
Unions went from being viewed as radical and threatening to increasingly accepted as protectors of workers’ rights.
The public grew more hostile toward unions over time due to frequent strikes.
Public opinion remained largely static throughout this period.
Unions were seen as beneficial at first but later came to be considered harmful by majority population.
