Abstract	The module is the second in a series which examines American history in light of industrial development and expansion. Presented in field test condition to allow for feedback from students and teachers, the booklet explores organization of the labor force through presentation of 10 class exercises. The first section presents a background discussion of labor force history to provide teachers with historical information. Following this background discussion is a series of classroom exercises designed to help students develop concepts and understandings related to organized labor. Topics include strikes, the eight-hour day, the five-day week, the Knights of Labor, child labor, labor-management relations, factory life, business enterprises, the future of organized labor, and American attitudes towards union control of government. Learning activities include article and illustration analysis, debate, class discussion, folk singing, social theory criticism, hypothesis formulation, role playing, and economic analysis. The format of the exercises generally includes objectives, materials, strategy, and evaluation. Sample teacher questions, background information, illustrations, newspaper clippings and folk songs are included where relevant. An evaluation form for teachers, resource materials, poems, illustrations, articles, interviews, and copies of letters pro and con labor are provided. (Author/DB)
