Essay / Research Paper Abstract
24 pages in length. The role labor unions have played with regard to wartime activities has been historically conspicuous. As integral as these unions were when it came to the comprehensive influence of war, they did not always fare well in the aftermath. Indeed, it can be argued that the effects of war often had detrimental consequences for labor unions as a whole. Had it not been for the original formation of the Noble Order of the Knights of Labor back in the mid eighteen hundreds, the American work ethic would have remained chaotic and in dire need of reorganization. The Knights were solely responsible for assembling some kind of organized labor for the American worker, which included higher wages and better working conditions. These tenets had since been fortified as labor unions established more strength within the workforce; however, it can be argued that each time the unions would solidly establish themselves from a previous setback, war would enter into the picture and disrupt that position, particularly World War I, World War II and the Korean Conflict.

establish themselves from a previous setback; war would enter into the picture and disrupt that position, particularly World War I, World War II and the Korean Conflict. Indeed, it
can readily be argued that while race relations and internal conflict posed somewhat of a significantly negative influence upon labor unions, they were not the primary reason that the unions
suffered severe setbacks. "In the past...what had the employers to show in the way of organization to adjust labor questions? Nothing that could be mentioned without a blush.
Small, local, decentralized, weak-kneed affairs, where nearly every individual felt his importance, was jealous or suspicious of his neighbor, was tricky or disloyal to his leaders,...easy to divide, consequently
easy victims" (Voss PG). I. WORLD WAR I It can readily be argued that all prewar labor union references date back to
the time when the Knights of Labor first addressed the issue in 1869. When labor unions first appeared in the latter part of the nineteenth century, they quickly became
