∙ 15y agoThere was conflict between the failing capitalist sytem and the workers' push for Socialism. Under Capitalism, (where industry, employment and trade was dealt with privately i.e. a man could set up his own buisiness and work his own way to wealth without any guidance from government or laws) workers were treated very poorly, because employers could do pretty much whatever they wanted, and it was more profitable for the employer to create long working hours and small wages.
Workers often had nowhere else to go, and so they were forced to work in factories run by employers that were wealthy manufacturers. Many women had to become prostitues, as there was no other way for them to earn money.
Workers objected to this, and some grouped together to go on strike, for better working conditions, wages, and hours.This didn't really work at first, because if they went on strike, they had no other way of earning. As a result Unions came into being, a organization that collected money and from workers so that if they went on strike they could support themselves. The union also negotiated for better wages and improved working hours. At first strikes were illegal and if strikes were put into effect the participants of a strike could be arrested. This was a result of an anti-socialist attitude in the U.S. However, slowly, the message got government attention and Unions and strikes were finally legalized in some year that I am to lazy to look up.

What was the goals of workers going on strike?
The Strike actions of any workers are generally motivated by their dissatisfaction and grievances experienced while working. Therefore, the goal of most workers when going on a strike is to somehow put the pressure on government to change their policies or in some other way pressure their employers to improve the conditions in which they work, payment etc. Government employees do not strike, it is illegal to do so and union leaders who allow strikes get jailed. Private company strikers walk out either to protest alleged violations of labor law (unfair labor practice strikes) or to pressure the employer for money in contract negotiation (economic strikers).
was the general strike successful?
Yes, but not immediately. The workers ended up going back to work once the strike ended and they had to sign waivers saying they would not join any union and they were punished. Some workers were fired, some lost their pension rights, etc. But the next year (1920), 11 labourors won seats in the Manitoba government, 4 of which were strike leaders. With their help, 20 years later, things improved. Now, we have good wages and good working conditions all thanks to the Winnipeg General Strike.
