Answer 2

The movement for labor reform increased because working conditions were quite horrible.

In the 1800s, there wasn't much government regulation of labor practices and this allowed corporations to take advantage of laborers in order to make more profit.

They did this by:

• paying workers low wages
• making them work for long hours, and,
• refusing to improve working conditions such that most factories were unsafe and dangerous to work in

As a result of this, unions began to form and people began to call for an amendment of labor laws so that they can feel safer at work and be paid their fair due.

In conclusion, the poor working conditions as well as low pay and long working hours, drove the fight for labor reform.
