Uplift unionism:
It is one of the categories of unions that aim to assure better educational facilities and enhanced economics status to workers. An organized labour management system is offered by this union.
The major causes that contributed to the failure of uplift unionism are as shown below:
• Lack of leadership and guidance to the workers to solve their problems rose as a cause to the downfall of the National Labour Union. This can be considered as a first attempt to the uplift unionism.
• The Knights of Labour was more willing to recognise the short-term legitimacy of capitalism when compared to NLU (National Labour Union). This context favoured the use of arbitration than strikes of the workers.
• Despite success, aligning leader ran for longer period of time than satisfying day-to-day grievances. This lead to the formation of unions as the American Federation of Labour that is result oriented, and gained popularity which Knights of Labour membership could not.
