How many hours a day did the mill workers work , and how many hours did they want to work?
Tyrelle Mccaskill
Most textile workers toiled for 12 to 14 hours a day and half a day on Saturdays; the mills were closed on Sundays. Typically, mill girls were employed for nine to ten months of the year, and many left the factories during part of the summer to visit back home. They probably didnt want to work at all. A regular 8 hours would've been better for them

Why do you think Sarah bagley believed she had to organize a labor reform union rather than just asking the mill owners to make a change?
Because the mill owners did not want to change their ways. They believed their female workers should be grateful for their jobs and not demand better pay or working conditions. It was a time (1830s and 1840s) when women could not vote and had few rights. In fact, the mill owners did raise wages for the men, but not for the women. So, Sarah Bagley and some of her co-workers decided the only way to get the mill owners to take their demands seriously was to organize, which meant forming a union.

Why would the grocery store you work at hire new people and cut hours of the ones working already why not just give current employees more hours?
While only the store management knows for sure, there is a general rule. Businesses would rather have multiple part time workers rather than full time workers. They don't want to pay overtime for the part time workers and they don't want to have to pay for benefits for full time workers.
