Read the excerpt from a letter about the early trade union movement. the trade union movement came into being as a movement of hunger. it was made necessary by conditions. it was in the beginning formed in response to a hunger for enough to eat . . as it became possible to secure more food, other hungers demandedsatisfaction . . the demands were for more and better food, for better clothes and for better homes. it required a struggle to satisfy these needs . . [a]t every step of the way it was necessary to overcome the stubborn opposition of employers who were resolved not to recede and not to relinquish any of the powers and privileges which they possessed. —samuel gompers, 1920 what does the author believe about factory owners?

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.

samuel gompers was an extremely important person in the american labor movement, being him an employee all his life he devoted himself to fight for the rights of his pairs, he believed they all had the right to have better thing and that they all were working for them but the factory workers were greedy, ambitions and socialist people for him who he didn't have a good concept of.

he gave so many speeches and led so many strikes and protest to fight for equality which he considered employers didn't want to accept, so he had an absolutely negative opinion of them.
