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.

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.
