Answer 2

b. Labor unions shared some of the goals of social reform movements by seeking to improve life for poor workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Victorian era the workers had no social benefit. Working conditions and wages were terrible. The workers were exploited by their employers, including children who started working from the age of 4. In this scenario, social reform movements appeared that sought better qualities of work

It was in a similar situation that the British labor unions emerged during the industrial revolution. The unions shared some of the goals of the social reform movements, seeking to improve the lives of the working poor.
