The 1842 Commonwealth v. Hunt case in Massachusetts established that organized labor (unions and workers' organizations) was legal. The first option is incorrect as prior to this case some viewed organized labor as a conspiracy, but this case overturned that. The third option (fair wages) and fourth (strike rights) were not the primary establishment of this case; its key ruling was the legality of organized labor.
