Half of what you listed was either strongly opposed by the unions and their democrat puppets or occurred before unions. For instance the civil rights act was filibustered for 54 days by the democrats, at the behest of unions.

The eight hour day was instituted in the mid 1800's. Grant signed a national proclamation in 1869. The AFL wasn't founded until twenty years later and large unions were a product of WWII, in the century.

Sorry, but you're got unions taking credit for things that happened 80 years before the union movement.
