better pay, shorter working hours and better working conditions
The Knights of Labor fought for better working conditions in Philadelphia.
There was such an abundance of unskilled workers that if they protested for better working conditions, they would get fired and easily replaced by someone who was eager for a job.
Higher wages and better working conditions.
Workers fought back against poor working conditions during the Industrial Revolution through various means. They organized labor unions to demand better wages, shorter working hours, and improved working conditions. Workers also participated in strikes and protests, refusing to work until their demands were met. Some workers engaged in sabotage and destroyed machinery as a form of protest. Overall, these collective actions of workers played a significant role in improving working conditions and achieving labor rights.
The workers believed that only the czar could help them.
