Better working conditions was the biggest problem. Many workers were locked in rooms many floors up so when they needed to escape it was either very difficult/impossible. Another problem was the fire escape not being very good they had a fire escape but many couldn't get down it since the flames had already engulfed most of it forcing people to jump to their deaths.
Due to the length I would have to write to explain this to you, I thank <span>harveymac1336 from Yahoo for helping me.
</span><span>"The Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire occurred on March 25, 1911, in a New York City sweatshop. It resulted in the deaths of 146 people, mostly young Jewish and Italian immigrant women. It was the worst workplace disaster in New York history. This tragic event touched off a national movement in the United States for safer working conditions. The fire started on the eighth floor of the Asch Building and quickly spread to the two top floors of the building. There were 278 sewing machines on the 9th floor. Most of the women were working on the 9th floor. There were also men, foreman, and bookkeepers. The fire spread up through the elevator shaft to the 9th floor. Since the doors were locked to prevent theft many of the women leaped from windows to their death. Fire truck ladders were unable to reach beyond the sixth floor. The building's fire escape collapsed. This disaster led to the creation of health and safety legislation, including fire codes and child-labor laws. I hope that this has been a help to you." </span> Again, thanks to harveymac1336.

Railroad companies rejected workers’ requests for higher wages.
Explanation:
Railroad workers during the second half of the 19th century were paid very poorly, and in 1873 a financial panic contributed to worsening their economic life.
