How did workers stand up for themselves in the first phase of industrialization?

Hi SuperbAllosaurus8889 😊

Thanks for your question! 😁

During the first phase of industrialization, workers faced hard conditions, including long hours, low salaries, and unsafe environments.

Workers did not need much training, making them easy to replace. Women and children were often recruited to work in factories.

It was the beginning of worker associations.
