Detailed explanation-1: -Labor unions are large groups of workers, usually in a similar trade or profession, that join together to protect the workers’ rights. The Industrial Revolution was a time when national labor unions began to form in the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many laborers worked 12-hour days, 6 days a week. Children were employed in coal mines and factories. As this continued, workers began to organize and demand safer working conditions, higher wages, and an 8-hour-workday. These organizations of workers are called unions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Labor unions were created in order to have better communication between workers and employers.

As a result labor unions were created to allow workers some protections.
