Answer:

The first British unions succeeded in their efforts to create a labor reform through strikes and protests.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unions emerged in the nineteenth century in the context of the industrial revolution, when in the first factories the work of children and pregnant women was common, and work hours ranged from 14 to 17 hours, under poor working and security conditions. At that time, what really mattered was the production and not the worker.

Thus, in order to obtain better working conditions and to leave this context of exploitation, workers organized strikes and protests, which caused the production to stop and generate damages to the factories. Through this, workers have gradually been creating a just labor reform for their well being.
