Planned labor

Planned labor has always been of paramount importance as supporting and financial power, these days, but its impact is diminishing profoundly. Service sector has developed whereas Manufacturing is losing its shine. Workforce is more interested in holding executive jobs and untrained in manual industrial works. Upcoming industries, in the meantime, require highly trained workforce who can adjust themselves to future changes caused by computers and upcoming technologies. A and a need to change products frequently in response to market demands has prompted some employers, to some extent have started relying more in interdisciplinary teamwork hierarchy is broken due to growing importance on customization and frequent demand of changing products.
     Planned labor, placed in  the industries of steel and heavy machinery, finds it difficult to adapt to such changes. Unions had shown growth in   initial years after the World War II, but in later years, they declined with decline in the workforce in the traditional manufacturing industry.  increasing challenges from low-wage and  overseas competitors  have forced employers to give more flexibility in their recruitment policies, employing temporary and part-time workforce and emphasizing less on salary and benefit plans in order to promote long-standing relationships with workforce. They also have faced challenges from the fierce campaigns and strikes organized by the unions. Politicians, once unwilling to resist union power, have passed legislation to weaken the unions' base. In the meantime, many younger, trained workers have witnessed unions as anachronisms that gag their freedom. Only in the areas like government and public schools- that basically function as monopolies, have unions sustained to have advantages.
In the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, there emerged a certain type of workforce that  had lost his work and livelihood fundamentally in the early twentieth century. This workforce was the horse. The population of working horses actually went on top in England long subsequent to the Industrial Revolution, in 1901, when their number at work, reached upto3.25 million. Despite that rail had taken their places for long-distance transport and by steam engines for driving machines, they still plowed fields, dragged wagons and carriages short distances, pulled boats on the canals, work extremely hard in the pits, and brought armies into battle. In the later half of  nineteenth century, they were replaced rapidly by internal combustion engine and by the year 1924,their number was less than two million. But the wage, at which all these horses could have remained employed, was not sufficient enough for their survival.
With the advance of technology in the second half of the chessboard, jobs and tasks that are done by human workers only, are supposed to be done in the future more cheaply by machines. When more and more jobs are done by machines, indeed, the wages of unskilled workforce have gone down for over 30 years, at least in the United States.
The American Labor Movement of the nineteenth century grown  as a consequence of the city-wide organizations that discontented employees were establishing. These people were resolute to obtain the rights and privileges they deserved as citizens of a free country. They did not want to be treated like slaves, and work under intolerable conditions further more. Employees united together and realized that a group is much more influential than an individual when protesting against threatening companies. Personnel realized the value of financial and lawful safeguard against the dominant employers who took advantage of them.

Technological growth frequently declines the demand for untrained work. The evidence deed confirms the idea that; technology did progress to the level that "100 people are now able to do what it took 300 or 400 people." Yet, millions of immigrants came into the state between 1880 and 1910 keen for work.. With a plenty of new immigrants keen to work, and no laws shielding a worker's rights, businesses degraded the lives of the individuals. This began to change with the creation of National Unions, collaborations of trade unions formed to be even more successful than the local unions.
