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.
Introduction. The Knights of Labor began as a secret society of tailors in Philadelphia in 1869. The organization grew slowly during the hard years of the 1870s, but worker militancy rose toward the end of the decade, especially after the great railroad strike of 1877, and the Knightsâ membership rose with it.
