AP US History
Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.7
How did public perception of labor unions change from the beginning to the end of the Gilded Age?
The public grew more hostile toward unions over time due to frequent strikes.
Unions were seen as beneficial at first but later came to be considered harmful by majority population.
Unions went from being viewed as radical and threatening to increasingly accepted as protectors of workers’ rights.
Public opinion remained largely static throughout this period.
