Answer:

Their problems were low wages and unsafe working conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the late 1800s, workers organized unions to solve their problems. ... First, workers formed local unions and later formed national unions. These unions used strikes to try to force employers to increase wages or make working conditions safer.
