Which of these statements does not describe the experience of railroad workers?

Workers who built railroads had to work in bad conditions, such as working for a long time and in dangerous places. They didn't usually have better diets and health than the Anglo people.

Railroad workers were treated unfairly, especially by their bosses and the community. Despite being treated unfairly, they were able to create powerful groups of workers, like the American Railway Union (ARU) which was led by Eugene V. Debs. These unions helped workers to get better rights, conditions, and pay.
