The Progressives fought for and often were successful in reforming local, state, and national governments. They favored laws that would protect the consumers from tainted goods, food, and drugs, and they enacted reforms to help prevent corruption in government at all levels. The Labor Union movement enabled workers to join organizations that would work for safe working conditions, protection against child labor, better salaries, and a standard working day. The federal government even enacted an eight hour day for federal employees. While some of the strikes in the 19th Century were violent, and some labor leaders were jailed, both management, labor, and government came to see that peaceful negotiations between labor and management would be beneficial to the nation as a whole. Consumers would be protected, workers would be protected, and industrialists would still produce excellent products and make profits.
