Answer:

There are numerous ways they responded to these effects.

That being said the two most common ways of response were...

  • Labor Unions: Workers created unions to jointly bargain for higher pay, favorable working conditions, and other benefits. Workers were able to advocate for improvements that would enhance their lives and have a louder voice at work thanks to labor unions.
  • Political activism: Several employees joined political campaigns to support legislation ensuring the rights and welfare of workers. This might entail encouraging the creation of social welfare and labor regulations. Political participation allowed workers to campaign for changes that would benefit all workers in society, not just those in their particular workplace or industry.
