Reform: Unions

People were growing tired of being mistreated by owners of factories and by the working conditions they were given.  The Unions were collections of workers who would try to negotiate with their employers to try and get better working conditions, and higher pay.  The workers could strike and the business as a whole would lose money, so the employer would need to follow their demands.  This reform, because of government acts, was slow going.
It is my opinion that this was a very beneficial reform for the society of the world as a whole.  If we allow our workers to be healthier and happier they produce better work for us.  This thus makes lasting jobs for the people and better quality goods.
