Answer:
Both succeeded in forcing the government to pass laws aimed at protecting poor workers.
Explanation:
The living conditions of a laborer in the nineteenth century were degrading. They were exposed to hunger and to the most diverse kinds of disease that found fertile ground in newly (and poorly) formed cities. These cities were deprived of basic sanitation: sewers ran in the open, and men, women, and children shared space with rats, insects, and other pests. Not infrequently, two or more families shared a quarter in the working-class villages, which served both to house the workers and to ensure their dependence on the patronage, since the villages were owned by the large landowners. All this after an exhausting work day (sometimes 16 hours), in unhealthy conditions, leading to serious physical problems.
Because of these problems the British labor unions and social reformers have forced the government to pass laws aimed at protecting the working poor through strikes, marches and negotiations.
