The problem, of course, is that eating a lot of junk food has consequences. The act of eating Cheetos may be purely pleasurable, but the feeling you get when you realize you've just eaten an entire bag of cheesy orange puffs is less so.
The goals of the Knights of Labor mirrored the main concerns of workers across the U.S. The union fought for the regulation of working hours, and especially championed the eight-hour day. They addressed the deskilling of labor that rendered workers powerless on the job.
Employers and craft unions opposed the Knights of Labor, and the Knights declined in power after the 1880s. The Knights helped establish the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada (TLC) in 1886, the first central labor body to represent Canadian workers by advocating legislative and political reform.he first workers to unionize in Canada were skilled artisans, such as printers and carpenters, whose skills were in demand. Their skills gave them bargaining power, and beginning in the mid-19th century they were able to establish craft unions to protect their jobs and the standards of their work.
