How can workers improve their living and working conditions?

Solutions

1. Organise. If everyone works together you can make a difference. For example mass strikes (staking).
   
2. Change the laws. Make bad working conditions illegal.
   
3. Political representation (vertegenwoordiging). Have your own people in parliament.
4. Voting Rights. Make sure everybody can vote, not just rich people.
   

Solutions

1. Organise = Unions. Organisations representing different groups of workers (textile workers, steel workers, teachers)
   
2. Change the laws = Social Legislation. For example Van Houten's Laws
   
3. Political representation (vertegenwoordiging). Have your own people in parliament = Socialist parties
   
4. Voting Rights. Make sure everybody can vote, not just rich people.
   

These people are all members of Unions. The unions have organised strikes. What do they want?
