How successful were labor unions in improving working conditions?
Give at least one example.

Unions were successful in solving the workers problems only when the workers had high skills, and there were few workers with those skills. Labor unions contracts create higher wage and benefit standards, working hours limits, workplace hazards protections, and other factors

They all were successful especially the women. They somewhat worked. The ladies garment Union were able to get enough pay for a shorter amount of work time. But they didn't like the safety issues such as the doors opening in instead of out.
