Labor history or labour history is a sub-discipline of social history which specialises on the history of the working classes and the labor movement. Labor historians may concern themselves with issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and other factors besides class but chiefly focus on urban or industrial societies which distinguishes it from rural history. Labor history developed in tandem with the growth of a self-conscious working-class political movement in many Western countries in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

  • Labor history or labour history is a sub-discipline of social history which specialises on the history of the working classes and the labor movement. Labor historians may concern themselves with issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and other factors besides class but chiefly focus on urban or industrial societies which distinguishes it from rural history. The central concerns of labor historians include industrial relations and forms of labor protest (strikes, lock-outs), the rise of mass politics (especially the rise of socialism) and the social and cultural history of the industrial working classes. Labor history developed in tandem with the growth of a self-conscious working-class political movement in many Western countries in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Whilst early labor historians were drawn to protest movements such as Luddism and Chartism, the focus of labor history was often on institutions: chiefly the labor unions and political parties. Exponents of this institutional approach included Sidney and Beatrice Webb. The work of the Webbs, and other pioneers of the discipline, was marked by optimism about the capacity of the labor movement to effect fundamental social change and a tendency to see its development as a process of steady, inevitable and unstoppable progress. As two contemporary labor historians have noted, early work in the field was "designed to service and celebrate the Labour movement." (en)
  • La historiografía sindical es un amplio campo de trabajo dedicado al estudio del desarrollo del movimiento sindical y de la clase obrera. La principal preocupación de los historiadores sindicales incluye el desarrollo de los sindicatos, huelgas, movimientos de protesta y acciones sindicales, relaciones laborales, y el progreso de la clase obrera y los partidos socialistas, laboristas u obreristas, así como el desarrollo social y cultural de los trabajadores. Los historiadores sindicales también pueden enfocarse en cuestiones específicas de la historia sindical como cuestiones de género, raza, etnias y otros factores no limitados al análisis de clase. La Historia Sindical se ha desarrollado paralelamente al crecimiento de la conciencia del movimiento obrero, a partir del siglo XIX. Los primeros historiadores sindicales concentraron su atención en las luchas sindicales y los movimientos de protesta, desde un punto de vista esencialmente "institucional": fundamentalmente una historia de los sindicatos y los partidos políticos obreros. Exponentes de esta historia institucional son Sidney y Beatrice Webb, en Gran Bretaña, Sebastián Marotta y Diego Abad de Santillán, en Argentina; , en Chile, Guillermo Lora, en Bolivia, etc. Desde los años 1950 y 1960 la historia sindical ha sido redefinida y expandida por un gran número de historiadores, como E. P. Thompson y Eric Hobsbawm en Europa, y Julio Godio en América Latina que comenzaron a prestar mayor atención a las condiciones sociales de vida y trabajo concreta de los trabajadores, así como los entornos sociopolíticos en que se desarrollan.
