Answer:
The relation of labor unions to the Socialist movement is in many countries the subject of sharp differences of opinion, even of bitter strife. In England, for example, after the break-up of the Chartist political movement in 1848 the union movement increased greatly and became a mighty organization of the workingmen. But this great body of workers remained indifferent to Socialism, or even inimical to it, and the Socialist party remained a small sect. In America the labor movement developed according to the English pattern. In Germany and Belgium, on the contrary, the situation is exactly reversed. There the Socialist party grew mightily in the first place; then the workers, who had learned how to conduct the fight on the political field, began to struggle for better conditions against individual employers. Here they are, however, comparatively weak, and it is to be expected that as they increase in strength they will make themselves more independent.

- Socialism in essence is an ideology that promotes equality. The goal of socialism is to end the exploitation of capitalists and give the means of production to workers. Many people in the Gilded Age, believed that these measures would help reduce economic inequality.
The main reason for rapid growth of labor unions in the late 1800s was the Industrial Revolution, which brought an unprecedented amount of workers into dangerous factory conditions.
