In the second half of the nineteenth century, the United States was transforming from an agrarian country to an industrial capitalist one. For some white economic thinkers, wage work represented a form of liberty: Workers were free to find employment wherever they wished, signing mutually beneficial contracts with employers. The majority-white labor movement, meanwhile, noted the inherent power differential between capitalists and workers. It saw collective action as a counterbalance. But as political scientist Benjamin T. Lynerd writes, Black labor leaders and theorists approached economic questions in a totally different way. Thinkers like like Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers, the founder of the Colored National Labor Union (CNLU), drew on the Jeffersonian tradition of republicanism.

He helped show how the labor movement was also about human rights. But it didn’t start out that way. In 1850, Frederick Douglass helped to organize one of the country’s first Black labor unions, the American League of Colored Laborers, in response to the difficulty that Black workers had in joining white-led unions. In 1869, the first national Black labor union, the Colored National Labor Union, was established and paved the way for future Black-led labor organizations. ....
