Was the success or failure of the progressive movement in relation to working conditions?

I would
say that the Progressive movement was quite successful in bringing issues related to worker's
rights to the forefront of American consciousness.  At a time when the revolution of Industry
had begun to taken a firm hold in America, when the titans of industry or robber barons had
begun to assert their grasp of American social and political orders, workers' rights seemed to
be a very distant concept.  The acquisition of material wealth had done that to quite a view
ideas.  The Progressivists were fairly powerful in bringing working conditions and compensation
as issues that needed to be addressed.  The Muckrackers did their part to expose working
conditions as being unsafe or unsanitary and demanding change.  The call for unionizing workers
in receiving a more equitable status in compensation and benefits were calls initiated in the
time period and still heard aloud today.
