Labor Unions

Labor Union DBQ A union is the joining of two or more things to make a whole. More specifically, a labor union is an organization of wage earners for aid, protection and dealing collectively with employers. The workers in these labor unions were part of Organized Labor and were considered a political force. During the period of 1875 to 1900, Organized Labor began to rise in America. Despite Organized Labor?s attempts to improve the position of the working man, it failed to fully deliver on its promises due to disputes over differences among the various unions, failure to improve workers? financial situations and the inherent weaknesses within the unions themselves.

I. African Genesis A. Interpreting the Evidence 1. In 1859 Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, in which he suggested that species evolve over long periods of time through the process of natural selection. With regard to human beings, Darwin speculated that humans must be “descended from a hairy, tailed quadruped,” and that the process of human evolution must have started in Africa. 2. Discoveries of hominid skeletal remains in Java (1891) and Beijing (1929) indicated Asian origins for human beings. However, the African origins of human beings were suggested by the discovery of Australopithecus africanus in 1924 and confirmed by the work of the Leakeys in eastern Africa beginning in 1950.
