3 points
a. Workers wanted free healthcare.
b. Workers wanted a shorter work week.
c. Workers wanted higher wages.
d. Workers sought safer working conditions.

Answer 1

The correct answer should be a. Workers wanted free healthcare

The biggest issues of the time were that many workers could get injured or crippled at their own risk and their jobs were unsafe in the industrial age. They also wanted shorter work weeks because they were forced to work much more than they were paid, and they also wanted larger minimum wages.
