Answer: For a social group to protect themselves from shoddy work. For a social group and to strike if they did not get what they wanted.

Explanation:

The beginning of the Industrial Revolution entailed a large number of people leaving earlier agricultural activities, and from that moment on were involved in the industry. The first industrial revolution provided terrible conditions for work. The worker did not have any rights, was not protected at work, worked from 12 to 16 hours a day, could be fired when he was injured without any compensation, etc. This situation will last until the workers have organized unions which are already beginning to be established at the end of the 19th century. In this way, workers will strive to provide better working conditions and fight for their rights. They sought to improve the position of workers through specific forms of protests, strikes, and other permissible mechanisms.
