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.
