Answer:

<en and women worked for long hours, work was hectic and pay was small. This built up anger causing many strikes and protests

Explanation:

The Knights of Labor were interested in gaining large amount of followers, this allowed anyone to join, aside from the white-collar working class. Also, African Americans and women were allowed to join the union. But the AFL, formed by Samuel Gompers where meant for the middle class and skilled laborers. the Knights of Labor lacked the funds and organization, they had members who caused riots during strike protest. The lack of order of the Knights of Labor union  led to the Haymarket Riot. The AFL was much more successful than the Knights of Labor were because they tried to improve working conditions and fought for reforms. Men and women worked for long hours, work was hectic and pay was small. This built up anger causing many strikes and protests. Sometimes the strikes where violent because the military where involved. They found a resolution of an eight-hour work day along with a 40-hour week, decreasing the number of hours required to work. Many people died fighting for fair working conditions and good pay.
