immigrants to the work force in large number & in new roles. This pool ofunskilled & semi-skilled labor spontaneously organized in fits & starts

throughout its beginning & would later be endorsed by the Catholic Church

towards the end of the 19th

Century. Pope Leo XIII in his Magna Carat.

Return novarum spoke against the atrocities workers faced & demanded that

workers should be granted certain rights & safety regulations.

The next established union which made an impact on the trade

movement was the Grand National consolidated Trade Union. This unionwas found in 1834 as the 1837Andrew Jackson though the bank of the

United States hurt ordinary citizens. By exercising too much control

over credit & economic opportunity & he succeeded in shutting it down.
