Labor Union

Unions or the labor movement are mentioned throughout the pre-War United States.

Background
Before the war, working conditions were often poor or unstable, resulting in violations of labor laws. Workers rights was a theme in urban centers in locations including Appalachia and Pennsylvania. Although bargaining did take place, such as between the DCTA and the Maintenance Service Union, resulting contracts favored company interests. Shortly before the war, labor strikes were common, especially in response to unemployment brought upon by automation. Unions played a significant role in the automation riots of the 2070s, with many staging protests in Appalachia.

Appearances
Labor unions are mentioned in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76.
