In 1840, male artisans and unskilled workers went on strike primarily to demand better wages and improved working conditions. The economic climate of the time, marked by industrialization and rising living costs, led workers to seek fair compensation for their labor. Additionally, they aimed to challenge the long hours and poor conditions prevalent in many industries. The strike was part of a broader labor movement advocating for workers' rights and social reforms.
