Answer 1

The late 19th century was the time where there is an upsurge of mass creation of merchandises by the new machines. Since the people begun depending through the machines, it replaced the highly capable craftsman in one commerce after another. This massive change resulted to increasing desirability of labor organizations. Those labor unions were able to establish work stoppage or commonly known as “strike”, that may expose their complaints about the working circumstances and incomes. During that time the business leaders respond to their actions by locking-out their union workers and began hiring no-union labor.
