Trade
Unions 1 Some scholars have associated trade unions with the
medieval craft guilds(中世纪的行会), but there are important differences between the
two. The guild members were master craftsmen who owned capital and often
employed workers. Unions are known as associations of workers with similar
skills. 2 In the past, individual workers had no control over the
conditions of their working lives; political and economic power was concentrated
in the hands of wealthy business owners. Workers found, however, that there was
strength in uniting. From their earliest years, union objectives have been
higher wages and improved working conditions. 3 Employers resisted, of
course. They made great efforts to stop union organizing its activities. Union
members were fired, workers were forced to sign contracts in which they promised
not to join a union, and companies hired strikebreakers (罢工破坏者) and even gunmen
to frighten organizers. 4 One of the earliest successful labor
organizations in the United States was the Knights of Labor, founded in 1869.
The Knights, which included both skilled and unskilled workers, attempted to
organize all workers into one great union. After it successfully struck the
Wabash railroad owned by Jay Gould in 1885, its popularity and power grew
dramatically. In 1886 the Knights had 700,000 members. 5 The decline of
the Knights of Labor, however, came quickly. The strike against Gould was
gradually broken, and the Knights’ radical positions on social issues cost them
public support. In the end, a lack of unity as well as the rapid inflow of
unskilled immigrants weakened the union’s economic power, and the organization
came to an end. Paragraph 2 _______
