Do not confuse anti-trust laws that are designed to deter monopolies with statutory worker protection laws, they are much distant from each other in functions and intentions; ant-trust laws protect general consumers who are both rich and poor. Statutory worker protection laws mostly are geared to protect blue collar workers and lower level white collar workers.

Different laws but more closely related than you may think.
Without anti-trust laws companies could have created coalitions which then could have been used to prevent the worker protection laws from every coming to light. The anti-trust laws are what stop companies from gaining complete control and power and in turn are why we can function to keep them in check at all.

Labor union organizers had been run out of local municipalities in droves and there had been a lot of blood shed on both sides. We cannot rewrite history to deny what had occurred in violent attempts by businesses to destroy the right workers to engage in peaceful collective bargaining, which in itself is capitalism nor should we attempt to rewrite history and deny that the holocaust ever happened! There are no guarantees that businesses will voluntarily honor anti-trust laws if labor unions cease to exist.
