Reform

Unionization
Factory workers at this time was faced with long hours, filthy and dangerous working conditions, and the threat of being laid off. Workers then started joining together in voluntary associations, which were called unions. These unions would bargain for better working conditions and also to get paid more, this was called collective bargaining. However, if their bosses refused these demands, union members would strike. Striking was when the workers refused to work.
In my opinion i believe Unionization is a good thing. I think it's good if the people stand up for themselves and how they are treated in their working environments. I think if you are not receiving the respect you deserve where you work, you need to voice that, and if you are refused by your boss, you and anyone else should have the right to strike.
