Labor and reform movements first stressed safety in big business and industry.
Until OSHA was created as a monitoring force, only the unions protected the worker. Labor reform also set workers rights including the right to be paid, to receive benefits and limits on working hours.

Answer:

Labor and reform movements have forced changes in big business and industry through anarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor and reform movements arose in the nineteenth century, in the context of the industrial revolution, when in large businesses and industry the work of children and pregnant women was common, and working hours ranged from 14 to 17 hours, under poor working conditions and safety. . At that time, what really mattered was production, not the worker.

Thus, in order to obtain better working conditions and to get out of this context of exploitation, workers began to form labor and reform movements that sought improvement and guarantees of worker direction. Through anarchy, workers went on strike, marches, rallies and other demonstrations that forced changes in big business and industry.
