Explanation

With little government oversight, businesses could exploit workers, and injured workers often had few protections. Capitalism also produced large inequalities between owners and workers, while powerful companies could push smaller businesses out of the market. Wealth was not evenly distributed, and unions generally formed to improve worker treatment rather than dissolving because conditions improved.
