To set important trend so employees appealed frequently for court orders against unions.

The labor movement of 1865-1919 was initiated by strikes that began because of wage cuts, the new inventions of machinery, and the depersonalization of workers.

During the late 1800s, the unions were conducting strikes that led to rioting and disorder.
