They were very important.
Their purpose was to protect the rights of the workers in factories so they have the right to protest, get compensated if they get injured working, etc.
Through unity the workers could apply pressure to the bosses (employers) to force them to increase pay rates to a proper and livable level (a fair days pay for a fair days work).
Labor unions were an important factor in formulating and passing labor laws on working conditions, child labor, and so on.
