Knights of Labor | Vibepedia

The Knights of Labor was a labor movement that emerged in the United States in the 19th century, advocating for the eight-hour day, equal pay, and social and cultural uplift of workers. Led by notable figures such as [[terence-v-powderly|Terence V. Powderly]], the organization aimed to organize workers across lines of gender, race, and occupation. At its peak, the Knights of Labor claimed nearly one million members, but it eventually declined due to internal conflicts and jurisdictional battles with other labor unions.
