From The Blanket

During The Middle Ages, tens of thousands of people all across Europe were wiped out by the bubonic plague. Included in The Black Death toll were thousands of craftsmen whose decrease in population increased the labour value of the surviving craftsmen engendering powerful Medieval Guilds capable of negotiating far better monetary arrangements for their living members thus serving as a precursor of sorts for today's Labour Unions.
