Some artisans make the successful transitions into small-scale industry, but others are unable to compete with new factory-made goods that can be sold for a fraction of what it would cost an individual to produce. Wage labor to artisans is slave labor, a condition they find personally and socially disturbing. In the 1830s and 1840s local trade unions begin to expand into national unions of workers. One way that workers protest is to stop work, to strike, but because unions are not recognized in some states, workers are often prosecuted. The 1837 depression weakens efforts to sustain labor organizations.
